Groundhog Day: Shadow or Science?

from Off the Radar · host The National Weather Desk

Groundhog Day is coming up this weekend so, move over Phil- the real weather experts are stepping into the spotlight! Join us as we chat with Climate Central meteorologists Bernadette Woods and Shel Winkley, fresh from the American Meteorological Society's annual meeting. They'll share their personal and professional take on our favorite furry forecaster while giving us their takeaways from America's biggest convergence of meteorologists. Then, we're heading to Gobbler's Knob with meteorologist Joe Murgo - the real-life Phil Connors who's witnessed 23 consecutive Groundhog Days! Like Bill Murray's character in the classic film, Joe has seen it all: the pre-dawn chaos, the top-hatted ceremonies, and yes, plenty of Phil's questionable weather predictions. With a perfect blend of scientific insight and hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, Joe reveals how this quirky tradition has evolved from folk custom to cultural phenomenon.
