It's Official Six More Weeks of Winter!

Gobbler's Knob has been the place to go on Groundhog Day.  The infamous Punxsutawney Phil always predicts if we will have an early spring or six more weeks of Old Man Winter.

Of course groundhogs across much of the United States beg to differ.  One groundhog, Staten Island Chuck informed a New York audience that an early spring was coming.  In Nova Scotia, Shubenacadie Sam, yet another famous groundhog in those parts concurred that an early spring was coming.

This was the 131st time ole Punxsutawney Phil has shared his meteorological ideas, but no matter what any of these groundhogs predict, SPRING will bless us officially on on March 30, 2017 when in the Northern Hemisphere is the Spring Vernal Equinox.

If you haven't seen the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, it is a must watch.  AMC typically runs it most of the day on February 2nd over and over again!

Did you see your shadow this morning?  If yes, that's six more weeks of winter...if no, spring is on its way!!!
