HOW ACCURATE ARE THOSE GROUNDHOGS?
They say that Punxsutawney Phil is about 50% accurate. However, Woodstock Willie is 74%. Who you gonna listen to? Who you gonna call?
Some say that Staten Island Chuck is almost 80% right.

WHAT ABOUT WOOLY BEARS?
For the last 30 years, residents of Vermillion, Ohio, have turned to a very different animal for their forecasts. Thiers of choice is the wooly bear caterpillar. According to tradition, the more orange than black coloring on them in the autumn, the upcoming winter will be mild..
More than 100,000 people attend the town's Wooly Bear Festival held every fall since 1972.
But, researchers have found that the coloring is a result of last year's winter, not the upcoming one.
Oh well, another reason to party and much better weather.
