SIX MORE WEEKS

Bad news for those of us hoping for an early spring. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow earlier this morning, which foretells six more weeks of winter. Nevertheless spring is on the way. We are now in the month of February.  Before this month is over pitchers and catchers report to their various ballparks in Florida and Arizona for Spring Training. Nothing foretells the coming spring better than this news. Before too long, it will soon be time to lock away all the North Face gear and dig out those short sleeved shirts.

YORK, Pa. — The results of Groundhog Day 2018 are in: According to legend, we're in for six more weeks of winter because Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. That's in spite of forecasts that predicted a cloudy, shadow-less morning.

The Pennsylvania groundhog isn't the only weather-predicting rodent in this quirky American tradition, but he is the most famous. And according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, his opinion is the only one that matters.

He's not always right. But he's always popular.
