Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow on Groundhog Day 2018! So what does that mean? Don’t put away the Gumbo Pots and Bowls just yet! We are in for 6 more weeks of Winter!
From USA Today,
The Pennsylvania groundhog isn’t the only weather-predicting rodent in this quirky American tradition, but he is the most famous. And according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, his opinion is the only one that matters.
He’s not always right. But he’s always popular.
They reported that Phil communicated in “groundhogese” that he had cast a shadow. According to legend, that means the weather will be wintry for the next six weeks.
That’s his typical prediction: It’s only happened more than 100 other times in the 132-year history of the tradition.
Even so, there’s some good news: Phil is usually wrong.
If Phil didn’t see his shadow, it would have been an early spring.
