“Okay, campers, rise and shine…Don’t forget your booties because it’s cold out there today.
It’s cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?”

It is Groundhog day 2009, for the first time I got to watch the Groundhog day presentation in Punxsutawney live over the internet. It was kind of fun to see it live, and believe it or not it was the first time I took the time to see it. Here is Phil’s official forecast from Groundhog.org the Official Site of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.

Phil’s official forecast as read February 2nd, 2009 at sunrise at Gobbler’s Knob:
Hear Ye Hear Ye

On Gobbler’s Knob this glorious Groundhog Day, February 2nd, 2009

Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators

Awoke to the call of President Bill Cooper

And greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths

After casting a joyful eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,

Phil proclaimed that his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers were World Champions one more time

And a bright sky above me

Showed my shadow beside me.

So 6 more weeks of winter it will be.

But if you don’t like Phil’s official forecast then here are other Groundhogs that are predicting today.
