Punxsutawney Phil Is in Trouble With the Law
The official first day of spring may have been earlier this week, but one prosecutor in Ohio thinks that winter has gone on far too long—and he blames a certain prognosticatory rodent.

Everyone's favorite day involving a rodent is FINALLY HERE. But what will his prediction hold? More winter? More spring? We're waiting with baited breath!
Puxsutawny Phil did not see his shadow this morning, meaning an early Spring. But a weatherman recently predicted not only an early Spring but also a volcano, global super storm, and Godzilla.

Groundhog Day was first celebrated on February 2, 1886 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, but the legend of the groundhog’s prognosticating prowess was first established a year later. A group of devoted followers went to Gobbler’s Knob to spread word that the little rodent had special powers to determine the length of the winter.
If the furry mascot emerges from its cave only to scamper back in without spotting its shadow, we should rejoice: Winter would be ending soon. However, if the sun that morning allows the groundhog to see its shadow the winter weather will go on for an additional six weeks.
