Six more weeks of winter! Well that’s what Punxsutawney Phil said this Tuesday when he saw his shadow. So what is the huge fad with Groundhog’s Day? Can one small groundhog really predict the seasons?
At first I was skeptical to this legendary Pennsylvania theory, and quite frankly do still question it. As for this year, I have not a doubt in my mind that my furry friend Phil does not need any fancy meteorologist equipment and still stands true. With snow in the forecast just about every three days anymore, we are definitely in for six more weeks of winter. Stay warm!
