Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, but it was hard to find a complainer in the crowd at Gobbler's Knob, where the morning temperature was well above freezing and the Groundhog Day high was expected to hit 48 degrees.
Each February 2, thousands of people descend on Punxsutawney, a town of about 6,100 people located about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, for a little midwinter revelry, celebrating what had essentially been a German superstition.
The Germans believed that if a hibernating animal casts a shadow February 2 -- the Christian holiday of Candlemas -- winter will last. . . . . . . .awwww, FUCK! I totally forgot that I'm not Bill Murray! Oh, well. . .Happy Groundhog's Day anyway! (hee!)
