Punxsutawney Phil is unlikely to see his shadow Monday, also known as Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and beyond. He certainly wouldn’t see it here on the Greater Red Bank Green, where an earlier forecast of snow was nixed – it was 43 degrees in Red Bank at 6 a.m. But rain was expected to persist through early afternoon and change to snow after 2 p.m. Temperatures are expected to plummet throughout the day, according to the National Weather Service.
UPDATE: The rodent is reported to have seen his shadow, so we’re in for six more weeks of winter, according to the legend. (Photo illustration by Trish Russoniello)
