Groundhog Phil Did he or didn't he?

I totally trust nature's prediction, which is what Groundhog Day is all about. It's said that the groundhog seeing it's shadow or not determines if Spring is around the corner.... it's not actually about his shadow though. The truth is, they are watching to see if the groundhog hurries back into his hole or searches for food... if he starts searching and eating then Spring is coming because this means he is ready to come out of hibernation. I think it's a cool way of determining how close Spring really is ; )

I sure hope that Phil is right! LOL I am sick of this cold weather. I want to be able to go to the park with my kids and walk outside and all. I am so tired of sitting inside and watching TV while wearing 14 layers of clothing. :)

I generally follow a more scientific approach to weather prediction. I am not sure that either way is accurate, it seems to me that the "so called" experts aren't very good at seeing what is coming either. I don't know the accuracy of Phil's predictions, but I imagiine that the scientists have a slightly better record. It seems that Phil is almost always opposite of the scientific community.
