Punxsutawney Phil is happy audience Wednesday when he did not see his own shadow. Not surprisingly, given the winter conditions determining the influence of Pennsylvania today.But according to tradition, means that we are an early spring.

Legend has it that something like this: If Phil (groundhog or otherwise) show in the morning on February 2 and does not see his shadow, you can expect an early spring. But if he sees his shadow, brace for six weeks of winter.The experts quoted in the Los Angeles Times that says that this is true - Phil is not only trying to get everyone to cheer after a long and stormy winters.

"There is no doubt that Phil is able to feel empathy," said Mike Johnston, vice president of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle Said. "But he is totally incapable of error."

There you have it. If you are not one of the many thousands who Punxsutawney Trek the ceremony, you can capture it on video in the Associated Press.

The news Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, this morning to hear exactly what he wanted: Spring will start this year, thanks to the good old Phil's prediction of the winter, as it did for 125 years (the longest ever live groundhog?).

Hooray, I thought I was happy with my portrayal of exile in the sleeping bag coat the recesses of my closet.And National Geographic, that bastion of the bizarre historical trivia, all broken down.

125 years, the country looked at Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog hole to creep and mission Feb. 2. When he sees his shadow, boom, there are still six weeks of winter. If you do not mean that just over two weeks to beat (and the storms to wallop the country this year, which is happy news).

So what if the National Climatic Data Center, says Phil is correct only about 40 per cent of the time? The country still believes. The groundhog was.
