Has anyone ever checked the accuracy of groundhogs in predicting an early spring versus six more weeks of winter woe?
It doesn't matter to the town of Punxsutawney, PA, whose most famous resident, a big fat but cute rodent, makes his annual weather forecast on Groundhog Day. He saw his shadow, allegedly meaning that wintry places are stuck with six more weeks of wintry crap.
However, the Confederate version of Punxsutawney Phil, Gen. Beauregard Lee of Lilburn, GA, did not see a shadow, meaning an early spring. According to the AP, Beau is a bit of contrarian, going with the opposite prediction of Phil's for the past three years.
But I suppose this means between the two groundhogs, there's 100% accuracy.
