Says doesn't see his shadow, but as a foxnews reader, you can read into it whatever you want... j/k

Fall season here was cold. So usually when that happens, 60s and 70s are in-store for April. So an early spring for the areas surrounding Pennsylvania makes sense.

Good job Phil!

Of course anyone who doesn't live near Punxsutawney should check with their local groundhogs.

Phil must be tame....I caught a few groundhogs with a Have-a-Heart trap and they hiss like crazy.....

"Is it sunny or overcast when the sun rises on this particular day?" is essentially what this all is. The rodents just keep the bizarre ritual palatable.

If you want another weather wives' tale that seems more reliable, how about, "if it rains Easter Sunday, it will rain the next seven Sundays." The weather does seem to get into a 7-day repeating pattern from about March 1 to mid-May.

Sad to say our local ground hog, "Stonewall Jackson", at Space Farms in NW NJ did see his shadow

. Of course his predictions are about as accurate as the "Weather Channel"s" have been

Hope you're right about that.
The first week in October here was quite warm and I was in shorts and sandals.
A week later, we were having to heat the house, two or three weeks earlier than would typically be the case.
We'd all love to see an early spring.

It is almost always cloudy in Punxsutawney. One of the highest cloudy regions in the country.

The big palm tree on Los Olas blvd in south florida saw its shadow. That means 12 months of summer will be coming up.
