Winter shminter....who does Phil like in the Super Bowl?
Gotta keep in mind that if he sees his shadow, there are 6 more weeks.
If he doesn't see his shadow --- it will be one and 1/2 months.
Have to keep this time span straight!
It's like a cold. It usually lasts a week, but if you treat it, it is gone in 7 days.
It was a doll.
I would suggest that Ted Kennedy could serve the same purpose. We could base our climate predictions on whether or not he sees his considerable shadow on St. Patrick's Day.
Bad, Phil! Bad, bad, bad Phil!
"There is no way this winter is *ever* going to end as long as that groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any way out of it. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him."
Happy birthday, lass. ;)

"I'm a god. Not the God, just a god."
"Yes, yes, let us gather around the little rodent and ask him to tell us what to do with our lives. What a great idea, yes. Maybe afterward you can take a look in your backyard and see what my poop is telling you."
The only reason to even have "Groundhog Day" is to use it as an excuse to have a house party in the middle of winter to break up the doldrums.
How can he see any shadow with all those camera lights on him? Which shadow does he look at? How does one tell??? Winter never really even hit here in Oregon. Our Sno-pak is complete crap this year!
Why does this rodent get money from the taxpayers?
Some Zoologists think that the groundhog uses his finger to predict the weather, but they still cannot tell what part of the groundhog helps him determine that there will be 6 more weeks of winter.
I love this day for two reasons: "Groundhog Day" is my favorite movie of all time. For you other fans out there, National Review's upcoming issue has a great piece by Jonah Goldberg on the brilliance of this movie. Secondly, Feb 2, 2002 is the day I met my future husband on a blind date. Not unlike Bill Murray's character in the movie, finding love on Feb 2 inspired me to become a better person in many ways :)
blazing sun up here in Maine too! the only day of the year I don't want to see it.
But I'm still holding out hope that since, based on moon phases, Easter is in March this year - we may still have an early spring...
