Good news folks

Not sure which Groundhog you are referencing.

But Phil predicted another 6 weeks.
 
I guess the Syracuse time scale is different. It's either 6 more weeks or 6 more months. So the 6 weeks answer was a major win!
 
5. Last year, New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio dropped the groundhog used for the New York Groundhog Day ceremony. The groundhog, named Charlotte, died a week later of internal injuries.

The above was taken from the article "Groundhog Day: 10 ground breaking facts" by Lindsey Gawlik
 
Before anyone gets upset this story was related by a priest.

The story goes that the bishop said that we needed to get more priests and told the head of a local seminary that he had to the end of the month to select a candidate . So the head of the semunary didn't think he really had to many to choose from but under orders picked three individuals studing for the priesthood and decided to ask them a question with the best answer determining the candidate.

The question was "What is the most holiest day of the year?".

The first would be priest said "Halloween". asked why, he said "we all get to dressed up, go door to door get treats..." The head of seminary rolls his eyes and says "Next!"

The second comes in smiles and says"Christmas". When asked why, he says "we put up a tree, get to wait for Santa, gifts in the morning!". The head of the seminary says "Next!".

Finally the last student says "Easter". He goes on to say "that our Lord died on Good Friday and was laid to rest in a local cave with a big rock protecting the entrance. And then on Easter morning he rolled the rock away , saw his shadow, and said there would be 6 more weeks of winter!"
