Anyone with seasonal depression or who simply can't wait for temperatures to warm up may have reason to rejoice today, after Pennsylvania's famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil gave his annual prediction of how long winter will last.Phil emerged from his lair for Groundhog Day in front of a crowd of thousands but didn't see his shadow. According to legend, that's a sign spring will come early this year.
If the furry rodent sees his shadow on Feb. 2 on Gobbler's Knob, winter will allegedly last six more weeks.

Is Bollah a Groundhog?
Does he make his predictions on Gobblers Knob ? :Ummm:

We demand to know

I grew up in Pennsylvania, and Groundhog Day is honestly one of the few things I miss about home. People here don't get Punxsutawney Phil, and I always get looked at funny when I bring him up every year (as I am sure whoever is reading this is doing now).

Goes to ground too easily, so gets booked a lot for simulation.

Or because Andie MacDowell is in it. If I were Phil I'd have wanted her and Nancy - she makes noises like a chipmunk when she's really excited - at the same time.
