It's Groundhog Day !!! Again!!

 "Well, it's Groundhog Day... again... and that must mean we're up here at Gobbler's Knob waiting for the forecast from the world's most famous groundhog weatherman, Punxsutawney Phil, who's just about to tell us how much more winter we can expect."   

  ~  from the movie "Groundhog Day"

A winter storm is impacting more than two-thirds of the nation... So, do we really need a groundhog to tell us whether we can expect an early spring or six more weeks of winter?  Woodstock Willie has apparently already taken a "snow day" for tomorrow (as reported in a press release from Chicago). 

 But, never fear -  Punxsutawney Phil still plans to deliver his prediction

in a few hours.  Afterall, tomorrow - February 2nd, 2011 is the 125th anniversary of Punxsutawney Phil's  annual appearance at Gobbler's Knob.  No one wants to miss a celebration of such proportions! 

Anyone care to place a bet as to whether Phil sees his shadow or not??
