This Morning, as the Sun Rises, Punxsutawney Phil’s team of top-hatted associates will issue the woodchuck’s weather verdict. They will be either telling the world whether that PP is predicting wintry conditions for the next six weeks or there is relief, and we should see an early spring. The annual ritual goes back more than a century in western Pennsylvania, with far older roots in European folklore.
This morning, thousands of revelers have descended on Gobbler’s Knob in western Pennsylvania, and the many imitators scattered around the United States. The faithful wait and celebrate to see if Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow. If he sees his shadow, it means winter will last another six more weeks and he returns to his den and hibernates. If he does not see his shadow, it means an early spring.
The way things have been going so far here on the East Coast, it's been a long, cold, harsh winter with a temperature right now outside my house as of this posting at 6 degrees. My bet is we have at least six more weeks of winter.
Unless you're a winter outdoor enthusiast, just be patient and leave your party cloths in the closet until the real events that signal the start of spring get underway. In just over six weeks. St Patrick's Day and the parade season will be here and then its will be time kick off the celebration of spring.
