The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club made their decree Thursday morning in central Pennsylvania: Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, and there’ll be six more weeks of winter. The announcement was met with boos from the enormous crowd gathered at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney. Folks in the East and elsewhere gave a collective shrug, as temperatures have been unseasonably warm. “The daffodils are already in bloom in NW Mississippi,” wrote Jackie Barnes Garrett on TODAY’s Facebook page, where hundreds of people are weighing in. “We are already fighting mosquitoes and flies.” “Yesterday it was almost 60 degrees in Iowa,” wrote Facebook commenter Letha Ann Alexander. But Sara LaPoint, from Colorado, has seen enough of this season. “I am SO done with snow and winter!” she wrote. The Associated Press reports that the groundhog has seen his shadow 99 times since 1886; he’s not seen it only 16 times, according to the Groundhog Club’s Inner Circle.
