My brother Mike mentioned in a recent blog that Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog, saw his shadow in early February, “predicting” we’ll have six more weeks of winter.
Will you please help us #FindPhil? We need to speak with him.
He claims, you see, omniscient powers to predict winter, but according to our research (and the help of Weather Underground), he has a measly 39 percent accuracy since the first Groundhog Day in 1887.
We feel all of us could do a better job than him if we flipped a coin. So, we’re going to personally ask Phil to flip a coin instead of looking for his shadow.
But first, we need your help to #FindPhil
