Groundhog Day 2011, Please. Punxsutawney Phil emerged just after dawn to make his 125th annual weather forecast; Spring is just around the corner. Not too sure if I would base the winter season ending too soon on a rodent who is 125 years plus old! I referrer to my Farmer's Almanac for such important matters.I would really hope that there is some better way to forecast than if there is a shadow or not. And by the way, who is it that determines if a shadow is seen? From what little I have learned of this great event, the decision is actually made buy a committee prior to the fateful morning of the rodent's prediction, or so they say.
