Six More Weeks of Winter In Ditmas, Declares P.S. 217 GroundHAMSTER

OK, it may not feel like we’re going to have six more weeks of winter, but a highly reputable source on Newkirk Avenue has just declared it so.

Snowball, the P.S. 217 GroundHamster, saw its shadow yesterday, so it looks like more cold weather lies ahead in Ditmas Park.

The P.S. 217 Weather Club enlisted the help of Snowball because it was not able to locate an available groundhog to help predict the arrival of spring.

“Snowball did a great job pinch-hitting for its distant cousin,” Parent Coordinator Mara Dubovici told us.
