Heeza catnapping till da early morning of February 2nd when he peaks outta his Groundhog mansion, in da frigid temperachures. Sometimes Phil sees hizza shadow, and sometimes he duzn't - time will tell and so will da Press dat gathers from all over da Globe to watcha Phil on February 2nd. Why? So weeza knows whether the weather izza gonna be good or not so good! Yep uh huh, itza fur shure.
