While Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and predicts six more weeks of cold winter weather, ‘Parish’ Audubon Zoo's resident nutria made her Groundhog Day prediction, calling for the arrival of warmer weather.
Early this morning, Audubon’s rodent quietly crawled out of her den at the Zoo and predicted that spring is just around the corner.
Contrary to Punxsutawney Phil, Parish's message is clear: New Orleanians should expect an early spring and should get ready for some sunshine and warmer weather this Carnival Season.
