Groundhog Day
« on: February 01, 2013, 05:01:39 pm »
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day.  There is a groundhog in PA, named Paxatony Phil.  On February 2nd, Groundhog Day he comes out of the ground and if he sees his shadow 6 more weeks of winter!  (Old PA Dutch saying)

Yes, I know but did this groundhog Phil see his shadow today, because today is groundhog day but I haven't heard whether or not He has seen his shadow or not. Guess, I will have to do an internet search and find out. It is snowing and cold here in Ohio and we have almost 3 inches but not much in comparison to some other places.

I've never seen a case study to know if the Groundhog is right or not... it's usually a clip on a newscast each year...

I have never given it much credit, but dont know how correct it has been throughout the years. i do know he didnt see his shadow this year and thus predicted early spring, but i dont see that happening!

I don't believe in groundhog day. They have been saying for years if a groundhog sees it's shadow it going to be cold.

I like the movie Groundhog Day

I was in that movie! An extra of course. I was a little kid in the crowd during the main event.
