Now that the prediction's over, I can't say I'm pleased about the prospect of six more weeks of winter . . . which in SF translates to more and more rain. Boo. Nevertheless, this famed fella was pulled from his stump yesterday by the top-hatted, tuxedoed John Griffiths, a member of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle. While I caught the festivities later on, a crowd of 40,000 spent a night of revelry awaiting the sunrise (and Punxsutawney Phil!) in Pennsylvania's Gobbler's Knob. After you share how you're feeling about his prediction, test your groundhog knowledge in our fun quiz.

The things people sponsor. A groundhog to tell us it's going to rain more. I hope kids enjoyed it.
1I know I'm in the minority but I enjoy the seasons and I don't feel like I've had enough winter yet
2I live in Northern MN, and as long as we get buckets of snow in the next couple weeks I'm fine with it. I have to be able to snowmobile lots more before Spring. If there's no snow, then bring on the heat.
3He is soooo cute! I'm ready for Spring.
4Winter lasts about six months here, it's dark and gray- I am *more* than ready for spring!
5I agree with grrlyrebel. Why wish everything away? Enjoy the seasons!! Summer will be here soon enough making us all miserable.
6Hey, the Patriots are good for winter, they went into super hybernation tonite.
7Why listen to Phil? His little rodent prognostication skills are screwed up.
General Lee in GA has a better track record and he said spring comes early this year.
8For some odd reason my friends and I drove to Punx last year to see this spectacle--I will never go back but it was an experience! People are CRAZY for this groundhog! And, I of course wish Spring would start TODAY!
9more snow = less work/school!
10yay! i love phil!
its 80 degrees here now, and i want it to be colder.
11Our groundhog in Ontario said we're having an early spring, so I'm thrilled! Although I heard their predictions are only right like, 30% of the time anyway.
12I'm in Florida. We've had a few 60-degree days. I would love to have a little bit of cold weather!
13I was sort of hoping that I would open this post and read that Dr. Phil predicted that Britney would be away from the public for another six weeks.
