My "groundhog" didn't see his shadow today. In fact, he didn't bother getting out of bed.
Here is the REAL groundhog story, straight from today's news:
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — The world's most famous groundhog saw his shadow Monday morning,
predicting that this already long winter will last for six more weeks.
According to German superstition, if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas —
winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says, spring will come early.
Since 1887, Phil has seen his shadow 97 times, hasn't seen it 15 times, and there are no records for nine years,
according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.
In Pennsylvania, the Groundhog Day festivities are the state's largest tourist gathering in the winter.
