Uh-oh! The groundhog saw its shadow this morning, which means six more weeks of winter are on the way. Tradition says that if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow on February 2, winter will last another six weeks. However, if Phil does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring.

I am so HAPPY that the ground hog saw his shadow because now we have six more weeks of winter and you know what that means more SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, mixed feelings. It was so freakishly cold and windy where I live today, but I love snow! I love love love it! I don't like slush, though, and the snow in my area is turning into it.
I don't care. Even though their are six more weeks of winter it doesn't mean it will snow. It can snow in spring also!! it depends on where you live And the temp.
I don't care
I didn't want the groundhog to see hi shadow because if you know me I don't like the cold and were i live it gets real cold but never snows.
Thats stinks that the goundhog saw his shadow. Here where I live we still have like 3 feet of snow. So I hope the groundhog was wrong. sorry anyone who disagrees.
Okay,i am sad!Because Spring will never come!
Not good.i live in hgh elevation.plus my school has used all its shcool days
I can't wait for spring to come because it starts to warm up. one day this winter it was 8 degrees. that day was cold.I will talk to you later
I am not looking forward to 6 more weeks of winter because it would never snow were i live and all that will happen will be cold wind and rain and some ice on car windsheilds.
i dont care snow rules but the cold dosent
Another 6 more weeks of winter, that stinks. I wish it was spring already. Its to cood and I wish it was warm!!!!!
I'm kindof sad that phil saw his shadow, I mean who doesn't want spring. like Kdilv said, it can snow anywhere. And most likely, you probably dont want to have a school day because then you have too make it up at the end of the year when you could have already been swimming and doing all the fun summer stuff.

To me it was always the opposite. If he saw his shadow,It would be sunny so spring would come. When he didn't see his shadow it would be more winter. weird. Never seen spring in february. And why a groundhog?!?!?!?!?!?
I hate winter.
