In a few hours Punxsutawney Phil’s caretakers, the Inner Circle, will dress in tuxedos and top hats, crowds will gather at Gobbler’s Knob just two miles outside Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania just to see a groundhog named Phil emerge from his temporary home to predict either six more months of winter or an early spring. Based on his 115 prior predictions, he has been accurate 39% of the time. Do you think he’ll be accurate this year? After Phil’s annual outing and prediction he will return to a regular day spent at the town library with wife Phyllis.
In other parts of the world, also known as Texas, Groundhog Day is celebrated in a different and quite unusual way. Instead of celebrating groundhog day, we celebrate Armadillo Day. Bee Cave Bob, an armadillo, makes his debut around noon at the West Pole. He will predict either six more weeks of winter or an early spring for the Lone Star State. Plus, it is also rumored her will also pick the next Presidential candidate and the winner of the Super Bowl XLVI.
