Groundhog Day 2012 Predictions

Can we expect an early spring?

Update: The world's legendary forecaster saw his shadow! That means we're in for another six weeks of winter. If winter means more days like today, or yesterday, I'm totally in!

I'm betting on an early spring. Although, we've enjoyed some unseasonably warm weather this winter so even if the groundhog sees his shadow, could another six weeks of this "winter" be that bad?
