So guys, we have a Cold News for you as today on Groundhog day, two groundhogs have predicted that we’ll have to wait 6 more weeks to enjoy spring. Milltown Mel is the groundhog of New Jersey who predicted a cold weather in front of 200 spectators. Similar prediction is made from his brother Punxsutawney, Pa from South. Punxsutawney Phil told in the ear of his master that you people will have to face winter season for 6 weeks more. However, Staten Island Chuck did not see his shadow and his predictions are showing that spring will come in next two weeks. So, on which groundhog you believe? {source}


QOTD:
2/3 of the groundhogs predict 6 more weeks of winter. Do you believe the 2 or the 1?


p.s.Is it just me or was that a most horribly written article? Do they not proofread wherever it is they work?

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — The world's most famous groundhog has seen his shadow which, legend has it, means this already long winter will last for six more weeks.

Punxsutawney Phil's forecast was announced in front of thousands of revelers gathered at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. They gathered Monday morning in near freezing temperatures, with many revelers buoyed by the Super Bowl victory by the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night.

German tradition holds that if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter would last another six weeks. If no shadow was seen, legend said spring would come early.

Since 1887, Phil has seen his shadow 98 times, hasn't seen it 15 times, and there are no records for nine years, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.


That's not exactly the news we were looking for, is it? So now we not only have a case of the Monday's but we also have a case of the Winter Blues.
