Today at Gooblers Knob in Punxsutawney, PA a large crowd gathered for the annual Groundhog Day Festival awaiting the appearance of the infamous Punxsutawney Phil prognosticator of the duration of Winter. This year His Honor saw his shadow and declared there will be 6 more weeks of Winter.

Phil does have one detractor, his former wife

Someday, Pam & I will make the trip to PA and take in the festivity at Gooblers Knob. However, today we are readying ourselves for an Artic Blast. With wind chill factors the prediction is -40 F more or less. Then on Sunday, the weather people predict temperatures near +50 F. That's quite a swing.

Doug, this event always makes me laugh, and not sure how it all began watching a rodent to determine weather.

Hello Doug - in order to keep the alliterative game going, has Phyllis planted herself in Panama City? 😆🥳😆

Hi Joan Cox

A couple of years ago I wrote a groundhog day post that gave the history. I'm still searching for it

Good Afternoon Michael J. Perry

There are several competing events around the country. So does Octorara Orphie concurr?

Phyllis refutes Phil and calls him a habitual liar. They split up Michael Jacobs

Here in CT our groundhog Chuckles is in disagreement with Phil. Phyllis could be right
