America’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, performed his ceremonial weather forecasting duty this morning & predicts six more weeks of winter. Closer to home, the Howell Nature Center shared a Facebook Live (below) of Michigan’s own prognosticating groundhog, Woody. Sadly, her forecast matched Phil’s so I guess winter will be with us for a while.
Tate got this shot of a woodchuck not hogging the ground at all back in March of 2007. You can see another on his Flickr.


my college roomie in the 50’s was from Punxsutawney and we always had a special celebration on February second..thanks for the memories.
