They should retire the tradition because there’s nothing to predict anymore. Spring starts January 1st.

Phil may need to retire soon since winter doesn't seem to exist at this point (at least for the LV area)

No, No, and hell f* no! I got 30 Phils in my damn field and I now feel obligated to go out and knock on every hole and tell them the wonderful news.

Well, he is more accurate than most meteorologists, especially the clowns at WNEP.

This immortal groundhog must be stopped!

Does that mean the Feb 2nd tradition is ending? Will punxy be celebrating Phil this year?

Finally, it's about time the most accurate meteorologist in PA gets his spot. 50% accuracy isn't half bad if you ask me.

If you even try you'll get trapped in a never ending time loop until you learn the error of your ways.

That's what happens when you are the second most famous groundhog in PA. Keep on scratchin.

The tradition will endure, never fear.

There's a Meteorologist Hall of Fame? Is Chuck Rhodes in it?

Well, it'll be hard to take them seriously after they induct a rodent.

Glen "Hurricane" Schwartz better be a first ballot or I'll riot.

You can’t have a Meteorology Hall of Fame without Hurricane Schwartz. He’s the GOAT of weather.

Actually, Phil is never wrong, it's the translator, the president of the inner circle, who misinterprets Phil's words.
Phil actually controls the weather, and just tells that to the president.

Bill Murray tried many times, but failed.

Joe Murgo is in it so I don’t give it much credence.

He qualifies for this award because, like all other meteorologists, he's wrong half the time.
