Isaac Torcellini's opening speech discussed why Scramble the Duck's prediction is so valuable: "On the other hand, we know that the truth of the prediction matters. The quacks that we interpret for you today have a legacy of accuracy. They come from a duck who is well educated, spends his time enjoying and studying the weather, and above all is working to maintain the honor of his prognostication discipline." Scramble can boast 100% accuracy. As one person said, "I still trust Scramble more than any rodent!"
After Scramble examined the meterological conditions, he asked his handlers to read a scroll containing his prediction. In the scroll read by Karissa Howard, Scramble forecasted more winter weather, noting the shadow that points to six more weeks of winter:
The sun looks pale.
The wind is blowing cold.
The spring will stay quiet.
The winter is bold!
Six more weeks of winter to behold!
After his prediction, State Senator Jeff Gordon and State Representative Pat Boyd presented a citation from the Connecticut General Assembly to Scramble for his service to the community.
Scramble is looking forward to more winter fun!
