Groundhog day: Phil says it’s winter | Richard Adams
Punxsutawney Phil, America’s most famous weather forecasting groundhog, sees winter for another six weeksWhat could be more exciting than the Oscars– That’s right: the fiscal year 2011 federal government budget. But other than that, America’s eyes turn to Gobblers Knob, Pennsylvania, and its rodent weather seer, Punxsutawney Phil.”America’s most beloved rodent” according to CNN, Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his hole and ” according to a tradition dating back to 1887 ” if he sees his shadow, then that means another six weeks of winter. And sadly, when Phil emerged from his hole today he did indeed see his own shadow ” so that’s another six weeks of misery to come.In real life, so-called scientists insist that Punxsutawney Phil’s record is spotty, and that he’s only right four out of 10 times. In other words, you’d be better off flipping a coin than listening to Phil.For most people, though, the tradition dates back to 1993 and the comedy Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray and Andie McDowell, a film which delved into the mystery of the event (although the real mystery was why anyone thought either Andie McDowell or Bill Murray were ever regarded as hot Hollywood stars).This year there was a high-tech note to proceedings. For the first time Phil’s handlers texted the result. And People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), always alert to a PR stunt, protested at the event, calling for Phil to be replaced by a mechanical robot groundhog.The Wall Street Journal wonders if Phil can also predict the fate of the economy.
