Today is February 2nd, which is Groundhog Day! And that is more than a Bill Murray movie.
Today, a groundhog named Phil in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, will come out from his tree trunk and tell us if we are going to have an early winter or six more weeks of it. How? If he sees his shadow, we will hate him.
After a winter that has brought some of the coldest weather in a long time, we want him to tell us spring is coming early.
Is it? That sonofabitch saw his shadow, and now we will be bundled up with our loved ones until mid-March at least! Does anyone have a loved one I can borrow from until then?
Since I am allergic to pollen, I am happy he saw his shadow! I just wish the frigid weather would kill all of those budding trees.
Here ye! Here ye! Today is Groundhog’s Day. So, you know what that means? It means we found out if we are going to have an early Spring or six more weeks of Winter.
As is the annual tradition in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, we awaited for Punxsutawney Phil to come out of his Gobbler’s Knob to find out if he will see his shadow or not.
At dawn, the Inner Circle knocked on his door, but he was fast asleep. So they had to wake him up and drag his sleepy ass out of his bed.
Did the Grumpy Groundhog see his shadow or not? He did. And that means we have six more weeks of Winter. Bah humbug.
When it comes to why he needed his sleep, the proud pop welcomed his first two children with his wife, Phyllis, in March. And what new dad doesn’t need his sleep?
On March 23rd, Punxsutawney Phil and his wife Punxsutawney Phylis became first-time parents to a baby boy and a baby girl.
Since then, the babies have gone nameless. But this weekend, the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club finally revealed their names.
They gathered the town on Mother’s Day and held an event like they do on Groundhog’s Day to reveal that the pups shall be known as Sunny and Shadow.
I can’t think of two better names for the offspring of the most famous groundhog in the world. Punxsutawney Phil is the one who tells us every February 2nd whether or not we will have six more freezing weeks or not. If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of Winter. If it is sunny, then we will have an early Spring.
It has been almost two months since Punxsutawney Phil told us we were going to get an early Spring. And Spring has sprung early for our favorite groundhog because his spring sprung.
Punxsutawney Phil and his wife, Punxsutawney Phyllis, are proud parents.
The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club announced “that Phil and Phyllis have given birth to two healthy baby Groundhogs! The babies are currently in with mom and dad at the zoo that is located at the Punxsutawney Memorial Library.”
Congrats to the family of four and the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania whose tradition will go on for years to come due to these two new additions.
Is it wrong that if the babies are boys, I hope that they are named Bill and Murray?
Today is Groundhog’s Day, so that means we are going to watch the Bill Murray movie again.
Well, that, and find out if Punxsutawney Phil is going to see his shadow. If he sees it, that means we get six more weeks of Winter. And if he doesn’t, then we get an early Spring.
So what happened this morning? He didn’t see it! So start exercising because the warm weather is going to come sooner than we know it!
