Get ready for an early spring. At least, that’s what Punxsutawney Phil says. The weather-prognosticating groundhog did not his shadow as he emerged from his burrow in western Pennsylvania at sunrise on Tuesday, thus indicating springlike conditions sooner rather than later. Had he seen it, at least another six weeks of wintry weather would be in store. Members of the top hat-wearing Groundhog Day Inner Circle announced the “forecast” just before 7:30 a.m. “Take your jackets off,” shouted the announcer in the small town that has staged the ceremony for 130 years as he announced Phil’s sunny prediction. That said, flipping a coin is pretty much as accurate as Phil. Since 1988, the furry forecaster has been "right" 13 times and "wrong" 15 times.
