Apparently Mr. Groundhog predicted more winter weather...boo hoo.
"Each Feb. 2, thousands of people descend on Punxsutawney, a town of about 6,100 people some 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, to celebrate what had essentially been a German superstition."
"The tradition is that if a hibernating animal sees 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."
Well, I'd like to speak with this groundhog and ask him what's his problem? Couldn't you just lie and give all of us in dreary wintery weather some hope for spring just around the corner????
Anywho, just thought you'd all like to know the news!

I'm always curious to know what the groundhog says, but I always forget when groundhog day is. Since I live in Texas, I'm pretty sure he was wrong. It feels like Spring today! :)
Blast that groundhog! I am so sick of winter.
