Punxsutawney Phil and Meteorologists Reach Agreement on Predictions

If you were one of the thousands of people keeping an eye on Punxsutawney Phil last week, then you already know we’re due for just one more week of winter.If you weren’t, check out (a very confused looking) Phil in this video. (Also of note: Phil’s powers are apparently not limited to meteorological prediction. Stick it out until 4:40 in the video to hear his athletic insight).

Lest you didn't believe in Phil's meteorological powers, it seems like he might have nailed it this time. Or else the meteorologists at The Weather Channel have started using the shadow-seeing method too (which may be an improvement to their current methods, anyway). Check out this week's surprisingly Spring-like forecast after the jump.Up this week? An opportunity to hang up the down coats and store the skis in exchange for your oh-so-much-cooler leather jackets and sandals.Ok, so maybe not sandal-wearing weather yet, but still exciting. And, hey, if you're not feeling overwhelmed by the promise of temperatures in the 50's, it could always be worse. At least when we throw boiling water out of our windows, this doesn’t happen. So chin up, Princeton! Maybe Phil really was being serious about winter’s two-week deadline.
