A caucus is a confusing bit of political sleight of hand--not sure I even understand it! Maybe Mr. Flynn can come in and explain it to us.
Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow today--so just six more weeks of winter. If he did not see his shadow then it must be cloudy which means potentially stormy, which translates to a shorter winter, huh?

A caucus is a type of meeting that is held to select candidates or decide on a policy.
I find caucus to be such a weird word for it to mean something having to do with Politics. Every state has either a caucus or a regular primary, but both are part of the primary election process. A regular primary is essentially a ballot election, open to all eligible voters depending on what party your in. A caucus is more of a political event, especially for Democrats. Now groundhog day is on Feb. 2nd of every year. Supposedly it's said that if the groundhog sees it's shadow it means it will be sunny but if he doesn't we will have about 6 more weeks of winter, Which I really don't have much interest in but some people believe in it like crazy and will literally wait and see what happens.
to predict the wither is impossible
i dont really understand the cocus thing, but the ground hog is something really interesting and i guess we wont see more snow anymore
There is no shadow! That means we will have early spring weather!
I THINK THE CREATURE IS SO CUTE BUT IM NOT SURE IF THATS CORRECT OR HOW THEY KNOW THAT HE CANNOT SEE HIS SHADOW??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
