For those that watched the news this morning, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. For those living way out there in Pennsylvania, they're going to have six more weeks of Winter.
NJ and NY's groundhogs seem to take a bit of a different approach. Perhaps their fast paced lifestyle here has conditioned them not run away from their own shadows.
I would also listen more to a ground hog that was in our own region then to one that was several hundred miles away. The two closest groundhogs that are considered weather experts are Essex Ed who calls the turleback zoo his home, and Charles G. Hogg of Staten Island. Both of these groundhogs didn't see their shadows, indicating an early Spring.
Unfortunately for Charles, if he's wrong, he may be out of a job. Mayor Bloomberg was joking with Charles this morning, and like many animals that are morning challenged, Charles took a bite out of the Mayors hand.
