Sigh...

This is a rather strange tradition.
Let me see if I have it all down correctly:
  • If the groundhog sees his shadow, there will be six weeks more winter. He did!

  • If the groundhog doesn't see his shadow, the Vernal (Spring) equinox will still fall on the same day (Mar. 20th) - which is of course, the official end of winter and will be about six weeks from now.

Soo, what's the point? (Except of course, that these guys get to wear some really neato hats and stuff and they get to be on T.V. every year.) What a country we live in, eh?
