The cold weather and snowfall may soon come to an end, at least according to a pair of fluffy weather predictors.
Punxsutawney Phil, the 132-year-old world-famous groundhog, failed to see his shadow when he was abruptly woken from his sleep in Gobbler’s Knob in western Pennsylvania early today. Had he seen it, that would have spelled six more weeks of winter.
Still, don’t get out the bathing suits just yet — Phil has only been accurate about 40% of the time over the past 100 years.
As for Buckeye Chuck, Ohio's groundhog meteorologist, he also did not see his shadow and predicted an early spring. Since his start at predicting weather in 1979, Buckeye Chuck has been right 70% of the time.
