According to Bollinger, the group uses “a silly but sound meteorologic determination to figure out when spring is going to arrive,” and explained it by reciting a poem which pronounces, ‘If the Drowned Hogs frolic in the chilly Mon; springs arrival is almost won. But if they scream and run back out; winter will be a six-week bout.” (Pam Panchak/Post-Gazette)Jordan, left, and Eevanna Lundquist take a morning walk with their son Porter, Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019, on the North Shore.
