CNN.com – Groundhog Day: Punxsutawney Phil predicts long winter – Feb. 2, 2004
The world’s most famous furry forecaster “saw” his shadow this chilly Groundhog Day morning, which according to tradition means six more weeks of winter.
The prediction drew boos from thousands who gathered in 17-degree weather to witness the 118th annual weather prediction.
The spirited crowd, some clad in furry groundhog hats or even full-length costumes, chanted “Phil! Phil! Phil!” after fireworks and a long night of rock music drew to an end and the hour of the ceremony neared.
I can’t believe they booed Phil! Bastards.
