Punxsutawney Phil has officially predicted 6 more weeks of winter. Now, it is strange that it has become a tradition to listen to a groundhog who has either seen or not seen his shadow instead of meteorologists. But, just to be fun, we have come up with phrases the groundhog would say if it was actually from here.
In the wee hours today in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the most popular groundhog in America woke from his slumber and gave the country the news it had been waiting for.
A large crowd will gather later this week in a small, central Pennsylvania town, to take part in an annual ritual involving a rodent with a propensity for incorrectness.
Good news! Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow today! That means we can expect an early spring, allegedly. But, we in Idaho like to be prepared. So, what if the Phil was lying? With that in mind, here is our favorite groundhog recipe just in case we get slammed with a bunch more winter.
We’re big fans of Groundhog Day here at ScreenCrush — I mean, we did just pick it as number one on our list of the 25 Best Comedies of the Last 25 Years — so this news, via The Hollywood Reporter, has us excited: Groundhog Day is coming to Broadway on January 23, 2017. A new version of Groundhog Day! It feels like we’re living the same story over and over and over again! But with, like, music this time.
