Groundhog Day

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day!
Although it now seems as if every town (or at least every state) has its own “official” groundhog prognosticator (Connecticut has Chuckles who resides at the Lutz Children’s Museum in Manchester), the largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where crowds estimated to be as large as 40,000have gathered to celebrate the holiday since at least 1886.

Legend has it if the groundhog sees its shadow there will be six more weeks of winter, but if the critter does not see its shadow it will be an early spring.
When Phil comes out of his cozy burrow in Punxsutawney at 7:20 tomorrow morning, what do you think the verdict will be?

Vote in today's poll and have a happy Groundhog Day. See Poll on sidebar!
