groundhog day

Today is Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil was up bright and early to make his annual winter prediction.  Phil saw his shadow.  Remember what that means?

This Sunday, 2/2/14 is a very important day.  Not only is it Super Bowl Sunday but it's also Groundhog Day.  How much longer will winter last?  Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow Sunday morning?

Apparently he has a shadow like Peter Pan's and it eluded him this time, so looks like an early spring is on the menu! Now let's just hope it comes in like a lamb rather than a lion! TIme to go watch me some Bill Murray!

6 more weeks of winter is on the way.  At least according to Punxsutawney Phil, the infamous ground hog.  On Gobblers Knob this morning Phil proclaimed 'As I look at the crowd on Gobblers Knob, many shadows do I see, so six more weeks of winter it must be.'

It's Groundhog Day...again. According to legend, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow, it will leave showing that winter will soon end. If it is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow and go back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks. The ...

Punxsutawney Phil and Staten Island Chuck agreed: Spring will come early this year!
