It's Groundhog Day!
This video cuts off the rest of the scene, but the groundhog does end up emerging, eyes shut with his paws covering them. As he mutters about not wanting to see his shadow, the sun suddenly is covered up by clouds overhead. When he takes his paws off his eyes, the shadow's gone! "Spring is on it's way!"
Well, how about in the real world? We want to know about how much more winter's left too!
Apparently the verdict for today is...well, depends on the groundhog! Chuck of Staten Island was like our animated friend above: he luckily didn't see his shadow. However, Punxsutawney Phil, another famed groundhog, did see his shadow, giving us the downcast prediction of six more weeks of winter. Whom do you agree with?
"How about me?"
Sorry, but you're a gopher. This is Groundhog Day.
"I'm not in the book, you know!"
Not going to work. Sorry, Gopher.
