No Shadow: Spring Is On Its Way
Happy Groundhog Day everyone. Today was the big event. Punxsutawney Phil came out and he did NOT see his shadow this morning.
GOBBLER'S KNOB, Penn. -- The world-famous weather-reading groundhog Punxsutawney Phil predicted spring was on its way Wednesday from his home at Gobbler's Knob, near Punxsutawney, Penn.
His prediction offered the US some hope of respite as the country faced one of its largest winter storms since the 1950s. Thirty states were crippled by what the National Weather Service described as "life-threatening" weather conditions that stretched across 2,000 miles from Texas to Maine.
According to American folklore, if the rodent sees his shadow, then the country can expect six more weeks of winter. If he does not, then spring is on the way.
With Phil's prediction, hopefully Spring really will come early seeing that it is pretty cold in Southwest Louisiana right now!!!
