Notes:



In Current Events we read an article entitled Groundhogs Make Their Prediction from Dogo News. February 2nd was Groundhog Day. This meant that woodchucks (and other animals) all across North America revealed their predictions about the length of this year's winter. Among them were legendary weather forecaster Punxsutawney Phil and risingsuperstarStaten Island ChuckAs is the annual tradition, Punxsutawney's most famous resident was pulled out from his burrow in Gobbler's Nob early in the morning by two handlers dressed in tuxedos and top hats. With over twenty thousand people waiting in anticipation, the groundhog carefully surveyed his surroundings before declaring (via spokesperson Bill Deely): "Forecasts abound on the Internet, but I, Punxsy Phil, am still your best bet. Yes, a shadow I see...You can start the Twitter hashtag #sixmoreweeksofwinter." (Dogo News)
