Georgia’s most famous groundhog, General Beauregard Lee, declared spring to be just around the corner after emerging from his plantation-style home at Gwinnett County’s Yellow River Game Ranch on a cloudy Thursday morning and seeing no shadow.

This is what the other famous groundhog had to say about the weather.

Georgia? How bad does it get in Winter in Georgia that they need the groundhog stunt?

Here in Arizona, I saw my shadow when I walked out of the house this morning. When I got to my office about a mile away, no shadow! It was snowing like crazy. Weird.

Here in California we haven’t had a winter this year so an early spring wouldn’t make much difference.

up North here is South western Pennsylvania the ground hog did see his shadow and our daffodils are two inches up out of the ground..NO Snow here at all
and that is fine with me but oh my the ski resorts are in big trouble...

Who is this “General Lee” you post of?

The OFFICIAL Groundhog Day Groundhog is Punxatawney Phil...several thousand drunk at 7:30 am Pennsylvanians (who hike to Gobler’s Knob) have my back on this.

Personally, my favorite PA ghog is Gus. He brings lottery tickets with him.

Phil, btw, did see his shadow...so we get six more weeks of Spring up here (no real winter yet!)

Seems like they don’t trust some yankee groundhog, so they went and got their own.

The one in Pennsylvania is the largest celebration according to Wikipedia.

For whatever it is worth, most of the other groundhogs say it is going to be an early spring on Groundhog Day Wikipedia page.

On the other side of the world, if the leader of al-Qaeda leaves his cave and sees his shadow then they'll have six more weeks of goat sex.
