Oh Phil - really? Six more weeks...

Will spring come early this year? According to folklore, the answer depends on a burrow-loving rodent named Phil and the weather conditions on February 2, "Groundhog Day".

Six more weeks of winter? Phil spoke to the man in the black top hat (and all of us) early this morning and he says "YES"! Groundhog Phil did indeed see his shadow in the small and legendary town of Punxsutawney, Pa. 

Don't put away your shovels, boots or winter gear. Phil says spring is not near.
