It's Groundhog Day!

[dpkimmel2001]

Okay, campers, rise and shine. Don't forget your booties because it's cold out there today.

Punxsutawney Phil correctly predicts the weather only 20 percent of the time. But that won't stop most of the nation from tuning in to get the critter's annual forecast Friday morning.

February 2 marks the 132nd Groundhog Day, and Pennsylvania resident prognosticating rodent will emerge from his temporary home on Gobbler's Knob at sunrise.

Wow, 20% That's about on par with most weather forecasters these days.

Phil is nothing more than an excuse to party in early February for the past 132 years.

The groundhogs wrath is going to hit us this weekend with several inches of snow and single digit highs. There also wasn’t a cloud anywhere to be seen this morning, so the folklore checks out this year.
