Groundhog Day: Phil Sees Shadow, Predicts 6 More Weeks of Winter
Monday, February 02, 2009
The world's most famous groundhog has seen his shadow, which — legend has it — means an already long winter will last for six more weeks.
Punxsutawney Phil's forecast was announced in front of thousands of revelers gathered at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. They gathered Monday morning in near freezing temperatures.
Since 1886, Phil has seen his shadow 97 times, hasn't seen it 15 times, and there are no records for nine years, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club. The last time Phil didn't see his shadow was in 1999.
The Groundhog Day forecast for the Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, area suggests Phil will have trouble seeing his shadow. The National Weather Service predicts mostly cloudy weather for the area.
Thousands of people descend on Punxsutawney, about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, each year for the tradition.www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,486491,00.html granted, if you look at the logic of this, if you were a fat groundhog, used to the life of luxury, then once a year a bunch of people put you in a hole in the ground and made you come out, and you were surrounded by strange people staring at you and taking your picture, wouldn't you run too? |
