The groundhogs have spoken and the predictions are... different.

Punxsutawney Phil's handlers removed him from his cozy home early Thursday morning.
Every February 2, the little guy comes out of hibernation to give us his prediction on whether winter will end soon.

Phil did see his shadow, which means 6 more weeks of winter.

However, a little closer to home, General Beauregard Lee did not see his shadow this morning, predicting an early spring for the south! 

Regardless of what the groundhogs say, Spring officially starts March 20.
