The most famous groundhog, Puxatawny Phil, saw his shadow this morning. This means that he predicts that winter will last for another 6 weeks. Though here in the QCA we look to be alright with highs today close to 50° and temps above average for the next 7 days.
Some interesting info; the handlers of Phil, or "The Inner Circle", ultimately decide if Phil sees his shadow or not. So even though it was a cloudy day, he still was scared back into his den. Also, since the start of the ceremonies (1887) in PA, Phil has seen his shadow 100 times and has only predicted an early spring 16 times.
