Groundhog
Day 2003
It
was a sunny day in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Sir Walter Wally the groundhog
saw his shadow, so the prediction is:
Six more weeks of Winter!
Children from schools across the state sent in their predictions for this year's Groundhog Day. Many thanks to all who participated!

WAS WALTER WALLY ON TARGET?
Did Sir Walter Wally's prediction stand? Or did we have an early spring? Are there other ways besides the temperature for deciding when spring has arrived? What do you think?
