We have Wiarton Willie. I can't seem to find out if he saw it or not but its sunny here so likely he did. We got over 10 inches of snow dumped here. Its all your's if you want it Mindy. Come and shovel it out of my driveway right into a truck and take it home with you. :-)
yes the wonderful world of groundhogs........lol why do we base our winter and spring on an animal that only comes out "once" a year. I would think the people that watch this are amazed this animal does not die of a heart attack from seeing everyone watch him. oh but wait the public officials will just replace him with another one... (sorry i dont mean to offend anyone)
There was a bit of controvery a couple of years ago when it was discovered that Wiarton Willy had died one winter so they replaced him and didn't tell anyone. Nobody really cared but the fact that they hid it had everyone up in arms. I think they are pretty much tame the ones they use now.
I always giggled at the idea of this whole thing anyway. 6 weeks is mid March....I live in northern Illinois...it's still gonna be winter here regardless!

Here, it was reported that Phil saw his shadow and there will be six more weeks of winter.

No apologies necessary...I happen to agree with you!
I have no idea what we use down here--as far as I know everyone in the South goes by what the groundhog in Georgia says.
I personally, believe the calendar, not a groundhog...after all, the only true reason they come out is to mate!
We have Puexentauny Phil.
Puexentauny is about 2hrs from us.
gabby's friend went up to see the ground hog today.
Why you would want to be there with all those people is beyond me.
It used to be like a drunken tailgate,but acohol is no longer allowed there.
The movie goundhog day takes place in Puexentauny.
Ther have been several Phil's over the years,but I think we pretend it is the same one.
he saw his shadow by the way.
Laura mom to Gabrielle
I don't know if Denver has its own special groundhog, but its 24 degrees and SUNNY...that lil f***er would have seen his shadow....GREAT!
