Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow this morning meaning an early Spring!!!!
Phil emerged from his burrow at Gobblers Knob Pennsylvania around 7:25 a.m. Saturday February 2, 2019 to a huge crowd of supporters. The cheers got loud as the proclamation was read that Phil did not see his shadow thus it will be an early spring this year.
The broadcast heard live on Beaver County Radio was presented by the Beaver County Conservation District.
Will Phil see his shadow? Tune to 1230 WBVP and 1460 WMBA as we will be live from Gobbler’s Knob starting at 7a.m. this morning until Phil makes his prediction. Meantime here’s a preview of today’s event s.
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — As the Midwest and East Coast try to recover from this week’s dangerous Arctic blast, Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog is gearing up to reveal whether an early spring is on the way or if winter will stick around.
Members of Punxsutawney (puhnk-suh-TAW’-nee) Phil’s top hat-wearing inner circle plan to reveal their forecast at sunrise on Saturday.
The festivities have their origin in a German legend that says if a furry rodent casts a shadow on Feb. 2, winter continues. If not, spring comes early.
In reality, Phil’s prediction is decided ahead of time by the group on Gobbler’s Knob, a tiny hill just outside Punxsutawney. That’s about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
A Pacific Northwest measles outbreak has some state lawmakers rethinking the so-called “philosophical” vaccine exemption as the number of confirmed cases of the virus grows to the dozens. Washington and Oregon are among 17 states that allow some type of non-medical exemption for childhood vaccines for “personal, moral or other beliefs.” In Washington, a bill introduced by Republican Rep. Paul Harris would remove the personal exemption for the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, or MMR.
President Donald Trump is giving his State of the Union address at a sensitive time in talks to prevent another government shutdown. But the striking visual is shaping up to be the record number of women House members who will be seated in front of the president while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sits just over his shoulder on the dais. Afterward, Stacey Abrams will become the first black woman to deliver the Democratic rebuttal.
