Six More Weeks Til Spring??
When you live in Western Pennsylvania, February 2nd is a big day. Just like in the movie Ground Hog Day with Bill Murray, a huge group of ground hog Punxatawny Phil’s followers trek on up to Gobbler’s Knob in Punxatawny, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.
They grab poor Phil out of his burrow to tell the groundhog whisperer’s whether there will be six more weeks of winter or if spring is just around the corner.
It’s a big deal around here, and this year was no different. Except that this year, Phil didn’t see his shadow. So sprin will be coming early this year. WooHoo! I hope old Phil is right.
