It's a sunny day here, meaning our Georgia groundhog, General Beauregard Lee, saw his shadow which delivered the disappointing news that we can expect six more weeks of winter. So did his Northern cousin, Punxsutawney Phil. Weather prognostication based on a big rodent seeing his shadow or not seems odd for modern times, but Groundhog Day has been good fun for over 125 years. By the way, Phil's accuracy is rated at just under 40 percent, while Georgia's Beau is about 60 percent. Either way, winter isn't over yet!
