Did He or Didn't He?

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Lancaster Real Estate

It’s February 2nd known as Grondhog Day in our area. This year we have different predictions from two PA furry forecasters, one from the east and one from the west.



Octorara Orphie from the Quarryville area in Lancaster County saw his shadow this morning and predicts 6 more weeks of winter. Orphie has been determining the arrival of spring for 103 years.

 

 




Punxsutawny Phil, from an area northeast of Pittsburgh, didn’t see his shadow and is predicting an early spring. Phil is a little older than Orphie, celebrating his 125th year of predictions. To commemorate this year, Phil ventured to predict that the Steelers will win the Super Bowl.

 

 

 



So who is right? Stay tuned.

Well, they're both right, depending on where you're located.  LOL.  Anyway, I do think that daffodils and greenery cannot be far behind Groundhog Day, and that means more real estate business!

Love that movie - Ground Hog Day - and I agree Margaret - spring can't be more than 30-60 days away.

Thanks for posting!  I heard the good news that Spring is coming early to PA this year.  It's hard to believe with all the snow and ice outside that we'll have warm weather soon.

I had no idea that there were two of those creatures predicting the end of winter. Now we can just wait and see who is right, especially with all this winter we've had...

Joyce - I'm assuming right about now everyone is hoping spring will get here quickly.
