Georgia groundhog says 6 more weeks of winter, Punxsutawney Phil disagrees

BUTTS COUNTY, Ga. — Six more weeks of winter.

That's the Groundhog Day prediction, in Georgia, many did not want to hear.

Officials say General Beauregard Lee saw his shadow, as he made his way out of his bachelor pad at Dauset Trails.

Pennsylvania's most famous groundhog disagrees.

Pennsylvania’s top hat-wearing Punxsutawney Phil declared spring will come early.

Officials say Punxsutawney Phil has predicted an extended winter more than 100 times, so this year's forecast is rare.

Meanwhile, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is issuing a new call to retire Punxsutawney Phil and replace him with a robot.
