We always have six more weeks of Winter!
#4
Boo. And here in Woodstock where Groundhog Day was filmed 25 years ago, our groundhog concurs with the real Phil. Sad



WOODSTOCK – Woodstock Willie reluctantly clambered out of his tree stump to see his shadow on Thursday, in the process predicting six more weeks of winter.

People of all ages braved the winter chill and traveled to the Woodstock Square just before sunrise to take part in the day's festivities. The event brings more than 100 people together, from Northern Illinois and elsewhere.

Legend has it that if Woodstock Willie sees his shadow on Feb. 2, winter will last six more weeks. But if he doesn't see his shadow, spring will come early.

Woodstock's annual celebration will continue with events that include a pub crawl, free screenings of the Harold Ramis-directed movie and walking tours of the film sites, among others.
