POLL: Do You Trust Punxsutawney Phil?

Happy Groundhog Day!

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning, which supposedly means that we'll have six more weeks of a winter that's already been mild to say the least.

Some doubt that the predictions of the four-legged weatherman are accurate, and meteorologist Lee Hendricks fully disagrees with Phil.

Hendricks said that, given current climate conditions, he expects that the Pittsburgh region will experience above-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation through early spring. However, Hendricks said, things could always change.

"This is an average, so this doesn't mean there couldn't be any anomalies through the next six weeks," he said. "Trying to get any further into the weeks, you're really pushing reality."

But it's still fun to speculate.

What do you think will really happen this winter? Will we get blasted with a blizzard soon? Or was Phil wrong, and we'll get to keep this spring weather that we're having?
