It's official: spring is right around the corner.

Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow in front of thousands of spectators Friday morning at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, part of the annual Groundhog Day tradition celebrated in the U.S. and Canada. That means, according to the legend, we're in for an early spring.

So there's that good news for today!

While Punxsutawney Phil may be arguably the most famous groundhog around, he is not the only critter making a weather forecast today. There's also Buckeye Chuck in Ohio, General Beauregard Lee in Georgia and Staten Island Chuck in New York, who all emerged from burrows Friday morning to predict either the continuing winter or coming spring.

What a ritual. They hold a rodent up in the air to predict the weather. I spose the rodent is about as accurate as the weather guys on TV here.

the groundhog used to be on the menu for the feast.......seeing its shadow or not was just part of the party plans,  drink up
