Punxsutawney Phil Predicts Six More Weeks of Winter

For all of you sun birds out there that just can't wait for this winter to be over, I have some bad news. Punsutawney Phil, that prognosticating groundhog from Gobbler's Knob has seen his shadow this morning, which means six more weeks of winter. Lets hope he is wrong!

Here is the official proclamation:

Hear Ye Hear Ye

On Gobbler's Knob this glorious Groundhog Day, February 2nd, 2009

Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators

Awoke to the call of President Bill Cooper

And greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths

After casting a joyful eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,

Phil proclaimed that his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers were World Champions one more time

And a bright sky above me

Showed my shadow beside me.

So 6 more weeks of winter it will be.
