Spring is coming. Punxsutawney Phil

I noticed right away this wasn't a popular news item here. I had to search GOOGLE to find out the results haha...

I also read the NATL GROUNDHOG in Canada passed away on 1 FEB I think it was... Was only 5 years old the report said...

We are still seeing left over snow from our big storm here in Northern Neck Virginia. I'm hoping this is the last bad weather we get until spring...

It's a clear day in Punxatawney today, so the real forecast would have been 6 more weeks.

Yep, and it's Pennsylvania. With or without a rodent forecast we still have at least six more weeks of winter.
It just gives us hope that winter will end early. :)

I'm guessing Phil (and all his clones) are appointed. If true rodents could run for office, I'm sure they would be in power by now. :)

That sounds like something a politician would say! :B Is "Phil" an elected official, or just appointed by the town council?
