Heeelp!! Now I can’t get that Groundhog Day tune out of my head.
To people in the UK: you really don’t have groundhog day? How do you forecast the weather? :(

Well, OUR local groundhogly prognosticator saw his shadow too – but you know, if you know that there IS an end in sight, it’s much easier to take, non?

Stupid giant rat. I (and my several feet of snow in the front lawn) hope he’s wrong.

Phil, Willie, Chuck & the boys don’t impress me with their weather prognositcations, sorry.

(They’re indredibly cute, though LOL)

@neko: Welcome! Are you named after the little cat that would follow a mouse pointer around? That must have been 10 years ago. Or the Jurassic Age in computer years! Neko was CUTE![google google google] Yes! I was right! 1998. And there are links that seem to say you can still download him. A true classic!

@Punxsy native: I live close to where the movie was filmed (Woodstock IL). Every year since then, the town has had G-Hog Day celebrations with events from the movie (like the bachelor auction, walking tours of the filming locations, etc.) and Woodstock Willie, who according to the newspaper, tried to escape yesterday before the festivities, LOL!

Punxsutawney is my hometown (although I don’t live there anymore). I’ve been to the main event more than once, and yes, Gobbler’s Knob is the location’s real name. It’s not in the middle of town like in the movie, though, and Phil doesn’t live there. He and his wife Phyllis live in the town library. Another fun fact: although Groundhog Day was not filmed in Punxsutawney, there was once a plywood groundhog “statue” in town just like the one that Bill Murray drives through.
