The event will be hosted by Phil Deeley president of the Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club. PCN will be cablecasting the event live from 6:00 am to 7:30 am. Folks outside of our cable systems viewing areas can watch live via streamed video over the internet courtesy of visitpa.com.
Almost 10,000 people come every year to watch this little furry grundsow ("Prognosticator of Prognosticators") try and outdo meteorologists' predictions. Newcomers may ask why the heck would anyone stand out in the woods overnight doing basically nothing? Well that's not all there is to it. Every year, starting on Friday, Punxsutawney, Pa. gets all gussied up and has numerous events for tourists.
If all this still sounds silly it's probably no more silly then people freezing their butts off without a bathroom for 8 hours at Times Square in New York to watch a ball drop within a minute. Personally speaking I find doing either one rather unappealing. I prefer my warmth and sleep. Best part is I can still do both by pushing the fast forward button on my DVR and not miss a thing. I'm such a weenie, eh? :-)
