Groundhog's Day

Written by

Not the Bill Murray Movie...  

Tomorrow around 6-6:30am we will find out if Punxsutawney Phil the prognosticating groundhog will see his shadow.

If he does it will result in 6 more weeks of winter.  If he doesn't spring will arrive early.  (Pretty vague, right?)

Well if you have never been to Gobbler's Knob the hill were the magic happens.  It is in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

I grew up 10 miles from there.  At daybreak tomorrow the handler will pull Phil from a stump built out of wood.  

The groundhog has a scroll attached to his collar.   The handler reads the note... it is in Groundhog-ese...  (It's a thing). 

Then the prediction is spoken.

I know there are/were a few knock-offs across the country like an armadillo "Bee Cave Bob" in Texas.

I'd rather stick to Woolly Bear Caterpillars in Ohio...  If you want to check out Phil's Prognostication Click Here

It will happen Feb. 2nd between 6-6:30.  Happy Groundhog's Day!
