[h=1]Groundhog Day 2013: No shadow for Punxsutawney Phil, so spring is around the corner[/h]By Jason Samenow

Punxsutawney Phil (Keith Srakocic - AP) At 7:25 a.m.Saturday, amidst overcast skies, and frigid temperatures hovering around 8 degrees, Groundhog Phil failed to see his shadow in the small town of Punxsutawney, Pa.
According to folklore, no shadow for Phil means “there will be an early spring.” Had Phil seen his shadow, it would have meant six more weeks of winter.

It's six weeks until the first day of spring. Phil is drunk as always.

That's because the movie was shot in a town near Chicago.

I looked for familiar landmarks when I saw the movie, and was similarly disappointed. While attending Clarion U, I drilled at the Reserve Center in Punxsy from 1979-1981, so I know a "little" about the place

Funny movie, though

Remember when watching geese migrate over ::: to wear glasses and keep mouth closed ........
