According to Punx Phil, he is predicting an early spring because he did NOT see his shadow. He made this year's prediction at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday. This is the 103rd time that there has been a prediction on weather made by a ground hog in Pennsylvania.

This little beach crab was inspired by a small, ghost crab on Bonita Beach. As he scuttled sideways, he exuded bravado and attitude. Mother Nature has equipped the real crab well to blend in with the sand, shells and surf. The burrow he hunkered into was in the middle of a pile of bleached, white shells and even though a portion of the large claw remained outside the burrow, he was impossible to distinguish.

Kind of a fitting analogy to the forced emergence of the ground hog yesterday - too bad the crab is just dinner for some aggressive predator and not the weather indicator for beach goers. "Crab Day???" Hmmm, no matter how you consider that name, it's not so good!
