Groundhog Day

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today. That's right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's GROUNDHOG DAY!
The groundhog did not see his shadow today which, according to German folklore, means folks can expect an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter.
On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing. Will we have winter or will we have spring? Since 1886, Phil has seen his shadow 96 times (more winter), has not seen it 15 times (early spring), and there are no records for nine years, according to the info on the www. The last time Phil failed to see his shadow was in 1999.
