I thought I’d do something a bit different this year. I thought I’d put my powers of prognostication to the test and predict Punxsutawney Phil’s Groundhog Day declaration.
I’ve gazed into my crystal ball (actually, I’ve just been watching the daffies sprout about a month earlier than normal) and I’ve decided ol’ Phil will not see his shadow on Thursday February 2, 2012. We’re in for an early spring this year.
“According to legend, if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring.” From The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Groundhog Day FAQ page.
Do you agree with my prognostication or not? Either way, we’ll find out what Phil says and if I’m right come Thursday.
Of course, only time will tell what Spring’s really going to do…
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

It feels like it already Spring here. I’m not sure what happened to winter, so I think you are right. It’ll be an early Spring.
Lol. Shhh! Now you know my secret, Jessica. I was taking a cue from Mother Nature in making my prediction. 😉
