Derived from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow and sees its shadow, winter will go on for 6 more weeks. On the flip side, if it does not see its shadow, spring will come early this year.
This morning, Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow... which means according to the legend, spring is right around the corner.
In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, thousands of people took part in the annual Groundhog Day tradition celebrated in Canada and the U.S.
Let's not forget 'Groundhog Day', the funny 1993 American fantasy movie starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell.
The warm weather the past several days does bring people out. But despite the prognostication that it will be spring soon, I believe Mother Nature's not ready to give up the ghost yet.
Groundhog Day was pretty awesome!
