Groundhog Says: Six More Weeks of Winter!
In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, home of the world's most famous prognosticating rodent, Punxsutawney Phil, 3" of snow had fallen by Sunday evening, and on Monday morning the town was beset by a lovely wintry mix of snow, rain and freezing rain that only a hibernating groundhog could love. However, the skies cleared briefly at sunrise on Monday morning, allowing Punxsutawney Phil to see his shadow and make his usual fearless prognostication for the remainder of winter:
“Forecasts abound on the Internet,
But I, Punxsutawney Phil, am still your best bet,
Yes, A shadow I see, you can start to twitter,
Hash Tag: Six More Weeks of Winter!”
