Punxsutawney Phil's handlers dragged the groundhog meterologist out of his Pennsylvania burrow during a ceremony on Gobbler’s Knob, where he also saw more winter on the way. Phil’s prediction was read by Mike Johnson, vice president of the town’s Inner Circle, from a scroll that said: “The bright sky above me shows my shadow before me, and six more weeks of winter it will be.”According to folklore, if a groundhog sees his shadow on Groundhog Day — Feb. 2, he’ll go back to his burrow, predicting six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, there will be an early spring.
I am fairly certain that "going back to the burrow" will happen to Katrina when she hears the news. She plans to hibernate the rest of winter. But I don't know that it was really related to the Groundhog seeing his shadow. Katrina always vows to hibernate when the snow begins to fall.
Hey Katrina, guess since the Groundhog saw his shadow, it means that you should just create some running tabs with local food delivery people since you won't leave your place for at least another six weeks.
Current temperature: 24 degrees. Yep, still winter. Katrina, do you think your roommates will notice if I hibernate with you? I could use the time to catch up on infomercials :)
