Groundhog Day 2018: Punxsutawney Phil, "6 more weeks of Winter"


Six More Weeks of Winter!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye

Now, this Second Day of February, Two Thousand and 
Eighteen, the One Hundred and Third Second
Annual Trek of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club….

Punxsutawney Phil, the Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of 
All Prognosticators, was awakened at sunrise from 
his borrow by the cheers of his thousands of faithful followers….

In Groundhogs, he directed the President and 
the Inner Circle to his Prognostication Scroll, which reads:


Up early this morning
Far from home
Are you searching for
the Phil-osopher's stone? ​

Well, even my best friends
They don’t know.
Is it an early spring
Or just more snow ​

My faithful followers,
your hands (and my paws) are getting cold
So here is my forecast
Not lead, but solid gold:

I see my royal Shadow!
Six more weeks of Winter to go!
