It looks like six more weeks of winter are in store for Massachusetts — Ms. G, the official state groundhog, saw her shadow when she went outside Tuesday morning.
The Mass Audubon Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary in Lincoln held a special event for Ms. G’s official “prognostication.” With a mostly sunny day forecast, it was no surprise when the furry creature saw her shadow.
With a warmer-than-average winter already underway in Greater Boston, some residents might be surprised to hear that the worst might be ahead of us
Meanwhile, Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog of Pennsylvania, did not see his shadow when he wandered outside Tuesday. That region already got hit by near record-breaking wintry conditions this year, so a prediction of early spring could be reassuring for those residents.
