groundhogs tout more weather prediction power than your local weatherman

It was Groundhog Day yesterday and according to the 'official' groundhog day website (groundhog.org) Phil, the groundhog, didn't see his shadow. That means spring is right around the corner!

Here is Phil's forecast in his own words (obviously a groundhog who can or can't see his shadow is also able to speak):

El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures in the west.
Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.

Global warming has caused a great debate.
This mild winter makes it seem just great.

On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.
Will we have winter or will we have spring?

On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.
I predict that early spring is on the way.

(Phil's official forecast as read 2/2/07 at 7:28 a.m. at Gobbler's Knob)
