Is this current warm weather more than a trend?

Per chance this winter has come to an end?

There is no shadow to be cast,

An early Spring is my forecast!

Groundhog Day Forecast; Phil Says It Will Be An Early Spring

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — It's Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil has made his prediction. He says expect an early spring.

With thousands watching on Gobbler's Knob in west-central Pennsylvania, the furry rodent emerged from his lair Saturday but didn't see his shadow.

Legend has it that if the groundhog sees his shadow on Feb. 2, winter will last six more weeks. But if he doesn't see his shadow, spring will come early. At least that's what the Inner Circle says — the group that dons top hats and tuxedos on Groundhog Day each year to oversee the ceremony.

Inner Circle president Bill Deeley says that after "consulting" with Phil, he makes the call in deciphering what the world's most famous groundhog has to say about the weather.

Punxsutawney Phil and Staten Island Chuck Agree: An Early Spring Is On The Way

Here's a little bit of good news for all of us that are sick and tired of this snowy winter thus far. Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog from Gobbler's Knob Pennsylvania, and Staten Island Chuck the the local prognosticating groundhog, came out of theirs holes this morning and didn't see a shadow, which means that spring will be early this year!



I can only hope their right!
