Groundhog Predictions Spilt


 Punxsutawney Phil is held by Ron Ploucha after emerging from his burrow on Sunday.
CNN:
Famed groundhog weather prognosticator Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Sunday morning at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, foretelling six more weeks of winter.
The good news is that, according to analysis by the National Climatic Data Center, Phil is wrong most of the time.
This is the 101st time he has seen his shadow since 1887. There was no record of his first prediction in 1886, the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club says on its website.
Columbus Dispatch:
 Pennsylvania's famed groundhog emerged from his lair in front of thousands of fans around daybreak Sunday. Buckeye Chuck, his compatriot in Marion, did not see his shadow, predicting an early spring for Ohioans.
I'd go with Phil on this one.
