Punxsutawney Phil Follow-up

Yes, Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow early yesterday morning, despite overcast skies, deciding there will be six more weeks of winter. 

Was he accurate? Turns out it depends on where you live.

Take a look at this interactive graphic from the Washington Post which the depicts the relationship between Punxsutawney Phil’s predictions and a particular region’s temperature fluctuations during the six weeks after Groundhog Day in each year.

At least we’re not suffering as bad as the Midwest and Northeast, who are not only in a deep-freeze, but dealing with massive snowfall this week.
