HOWELL, MI (WKZO) — Pauxatawny Phil may be able to predict what will happen in Pennsylvania, but the weather in the Middle Atlantic States is a completely different animal than the weather we have here in Michigan.
For that you need a local groundhog and for the last 16-years, that job has belonged to Woody at the Howell Nature Center.
This year, Woody was laid up with a respiratory infection, so they had to give Murray her first shot at the big forecast.
Murray refused to come out of the stump so to absolutely no one’s surprise after yesterday’s weather, we are looking at another 6 weeks.
How did a female woodchuck get the name Murray? She is of course named after Bill Murray who starred in “Groundhog Day” the movie.
