I wonder how Phil feels about all of this?

Yesterday was 'Groundhog Day'. Apparently, we're going to get another 6 weeks of winter since Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. Come to think of it, it seems that we always get another 6 weeks of winter 'cause Phil sees his shadow.

Here's some interesting info about Phil:

He's a resident of Punxsutawney, PA. He is celebrated each Feb. 2nd with festivities that include music & food. During the ceremony, which begins well before the winter sunrise, Phil emerges from his temporary home on Gobbler's Knob, located in a rural area about 2 miles east of town. During the rest of the year, Phil lives in the town library with his wife Phyllis. A small group, known at the Inner Circle, takes care of Phil year round and also plans the annual ceremony. Members of the Inner Circle are recognizable by their top hats and tuxedos.

Did you know?

Phil and the town of Punxsutawney were portrayed in the movie 'Groundhog Day', although the scenes were actually filmed in Woodstock, IL. Phil was also the main attraction on an episode of the MTV series Viva La Bam. In 2010, a new text service was started to announce Phil's predictions. Mobile phone users could text the word "Groundhog" to the number 247365.

And finally, out of the 114 predictions on record so far, Phil has predicted an early Spring 14 times (12%). Since 1887, Phil's predictions have been correct just 39% of the time.

Thanks, Phil! Have a good rest....until next year, that is!
