Looks like we are going to need a new groundhog.

You would think that they would keep a spare around especially with them having such short life spans.

They are more than welcome to one of the groundhogs in my backyard...

So what does that mean for our seasons if the groundhog dies? Eternal winter?

As a former PA resident this is a big deal, I guess I will just have to watch last years and celeberate.

Surely there was an understudy?  The show must go on!

i couldn't help but notice this is the Jersey version of this event.  I'm sure some descendant of Punxsutawney Phil will still do his thing in the wilds of Pennsylvania.

Can't they just find a shady spot and lay him to rest?

We'll be watching Bill Murray wake up to I've Got You Babe repeatedly tomorrow night. Great movie.

Yeah, the PA show is the real deal. No way they'd be this unprepared in the Commonwealth.
