For those of us in southwest Ohio, the fact that Punxy Phil saw his shadow is not at all surprising, especially this evening as we had quite a snow shower come through! We received another quarter to half inch of snow here in our town, but hopefully that will be the major extent of any accumulation. I'm not ready to have the kids home again after only one day back!
Also, my brother-in-law happens to live in Punxy. The kids' teachers of course talked quite a bit about the day and the event. JR's teacher explained that Punxy Phil lives in a hole and comes out once a year on this date. JR, who happened to have the benefit of his uncle, corrected his teacher by explaining, "Actually, Phil lives in the library." I'm not sure his teacher was overly grateful for his contribution to the story!
