Let's Talk About Groundhog Day

[Wakeforest22890]

Groundhog Day doesn't make any sense to me. If he sees his shadow on February 2, then there are six more weeks of winter. But winter ends on or around March 21. So that means from today, there are roughly seven more weeks of winter. So if he sees his shadow then winter will actually be one week shorter than traditional winter. People get upset about him seeing his shadow, but shouldn't they really be celebrating since winter will end a week early? It really makes you wonder...

Preemptive: More like GroundDwarf day

The daughter of the handler of Punxsawtawney Phil was in my class at Wake. Didn't know her super well, but she was cool.

punksatawny (sp?) phil only has like a 45% success rate.

The Raleigh groundhog, much better, like a 55% success rate. He said early spring for NC. Suck it Phil.

I was hoping to see something like this when I opened the thread.

There are so many benders that went unexplored in the movie.
