UPDATE - February 2nd is Groundhog Day, when Punxsutawney Phil either emerges from his hole for good (meaning spring is on the way) or comes out, sees his shadow, then runs back inside (meaning winter isn't yet over). UPDATE: Phil did NOT see his shadow today, meaning we will have an early spring, but that's not necessarily...
February 2 is Groundhog Day, when everyone who's been suffering through an especially cold winter this year hopes he won't see his shadow and pop down into his hole again, delaying spring weather. We now know that first groundhog will be a male?and we know why he's sneaking out early, too.
