What 'Groundhog Day' Taught Us About Life (and Groundhogs)
What 'Groundhog Day' Taught Us About Life (and Groundhogs)
By Lauren Tuck, Yahoo Shine Staff | Healthy Living Fri, Jan 31, 2014
Every Feb. 2, a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his home a hole in the frozen ground in western Pennsylvania as the world waits for word on whether or not the little guy casts a shadow. If the groundhog sees his shadow, so the legend goes, there will be six more weeks of winter, prompting Phil to descend back into his burrow and slumber for a little longer. If he doesnt see his shadow, Phil jumps for joy and plays around outside for a while (well, kind of) and the rest of the country breathes a sigh of relief, because spring is just around the corner. (Pray it's a cloudy day!). One little rodent holds a whole lot of power prognosticating whether the dreadful winter weve had thus far (please no more polar vortex!) will persist or melt away and usher in a sunny, flowering spring sooner rather than later how annoying!

Haven't seen this movie for a while. I think it's worth watching again now that it's Groundhog Day.
Great movie. If Sam was here today, he wouldn't even come out of his burrow. It's snowing a lot. The weather man predicted NO SNOW today. They should pay Sam, and forget about the weather man here..
The day is celebrated as an excuse to wear those old fashioned outfits :
You know I never noticed that until today! It's true. Why are these dudes in those duds?
