Phil’s official forecast as read 2/2/08 at sunrise at Gobbler’s Knob:
Here Ye! Here Ye! Here Ye!
On Gobbler’s Knob on this fabolous Groundhog Day, February 2nd, 2008
Punxsutawney Phil, the Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators,
Rose to the call of President Bill Cooper and greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths.After casting a weathered eye toward thousands of his faithful followers,
Phil consulted with President Cooper and directed him to the appropriate scroll, which proclaimed:“As I look around me, a bright sky I see, and a shadow beside me.
Six more weeks of winter it will be!”
“There is no way this winter is ever going to end, as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don’t see any other way out. He’s got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.”
Phil (Bill Murray) – Groundhog Day
