UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE<P>Well, the little critter saw his shadow this morning.... so I guess we're in for 6 more weeks of winter. *Sigh* <P>Here's a little history on the whole thing... I thought it was kinda interesting.<P>The Groundhog Day tradition is rooted in a German superstition that if an<BR>animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2 - the Christian holiday of Candlemas - bad<BR>weather is coming.<P>In the 111 years since German farmers began the festival in Punxsutawney,<BR>the morning of Feb. 2 has evolved into an elaborate show of hoodwinkery.<P>In years past, members of the Inner Circle, the club that stages the<BR>annual midwinter festival, voted the night before whether or not Phil<BR>would see his shadow, rain or shine.<P>Skies had been cloudy throughout Tuesday and into today, with snow falling<BR>much of the time.<P>In this central Pennsylvania town of 6,700 people, Phil sees his shadow<BR>most years. Only 14 times has he predicted an early spring.<P><BR>Bundled up Hugs & Kisses,<BR>TCF<P><P>------------------<BR>If you have a special occasion, or see someone here who could use a card... please e-mail me at card_fairie@hotmail.com. <BR>Hugs & Kisses,<BR>TCF
