FEB 3, 23 .. SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER AWAIT US
SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER AWAIT US..
Or so said Punxsutawney Phil as he saw his shadow yesterday at Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog emerged from his burrow on a cold Thursday morning and saw his shadow, declaring there would be six more weeks of winter. Punxsutawney Phil made his prediction as a deadly storm wreaked havoc in the South and the Northeast was bracing for a dangerous Arctic blast.
People gathered Thursday at Gobbler’s Knob as members of Punxsutawney Phil’s “inner circle” summoned him from his tree stump at dawn to learn if he has seen his shadow – and they say he did. According to folklore, if he sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, spring comes early.

I could tell that by looking out the window, where it is snowing with big flakes. Anchorage is pretty again as far as the snow on all the tree branches, and the tops of the snow banks again being white, but it continues to be too warm .. 30 degrees daily for the last few days, so the streets are still ugly and sloppy during the day and freezing at night. I guess a typical winter!
Hi Karolynn, thanks for your comment. This in reference to your comment : I could tell that (SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER AWAIT US) by looking out the window. Back, as in WAY WAY back in the day, weather forecasters used to triangulate weather predictions by determining what the weather actually was like in three places and then using that data to predict the weather where they were.
