Gestern hat, im verschlafenen Örtchen Punxsutawney, das berühmte Murmeltier Phil seine jährliche Wettervorhersage gemacht.
Es wird wohl doch weitere 6 Wochen Schnee geben.
Hier die offizielle Pressemitteilung von der Homepage des Ortes:
Phil Says 6 More Weeks of Winter!
Hear Ye Hear Ye Hear Ye!
On Gobbler’s Knob on this magnificent Groundhog Day, February 2nd, 2012, Punxsutawney Phil, the Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators, was summoned from his burrow in the old oak stump by the tap of President Bill Deeley.
At 7:25 a.m. he greeted his handlers, John Griffiths and Ron Ploucha. After casting an appreciative glance toward thousands of his faithful followers, Phil proclaimed:
As I look at the crowd on Gobbler’s Knob,
Many shadows do I see
So six more weeks of winter it must be!
