Happy Groundhog Day to all. As I type this, I am seeing a live feed of the fabulous fireworks display over Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, PA, awaiting the arrival of the Seer of Seers, the world's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil. Fox Channel 29 News in Philadelphia has an app available from the Google Play Store that is showing the Groundhog Day ceremony live from the festivities leading up to the appearance and prognostication of Phil. There has already been an appearance by the Governor of PA, Josh Shapiro, who indicated that there were 50,000 people in attendance.
It's 19 degrees in Punxsutawney but the huge crowd is probably keeping everyone warm. It's a great tradition and I had the pleasure of being able to attend the Groundhog Day ceremony for 20 consecutive years.
And since this is a Smith & Wesson Forum, I could not pass up the chance to show my Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Commemorative Smith & Wesson Model 629 .44 Magnum revolver, complete with Punxsutawney Phil engraved on the sideplate and the date of issuance on the ejector rod housing.
And now it's official. Don't put away the long johns. Punxsutawney Phil has proclaimed that he saw his shadow, thereby meaning we will have six more weeks of winter this year.
