Happy Groundhog Day! Well, it's official, according to Punxsutawney Phil we can expect six more weeks of winter. Since 1887 Phil and his predecessors have been prognosticating winter weather. From a German tradition that says if a hibernating animal sees its shadow on Candlemas, winter will last another six weeks. So this year, Phil cast a shadow and we can expect to be freezing our butts off a while longer.

But are we really to believe that a fat rodent can predict winter weather? Well, he's been correct 39% of the time, so really he's no worse than your local TV weather girl, It's a strange tradition, but one that inspired one of my favorite comedies of all time. I leave you with a scene from Groundhog Day.
