For the third year in a row, the Countdown to Groundhog Day team went to Tinicum Tim‘s Groundhog Day Groundhog Day celebration at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge At Tinicum.

The event always take place the Saturday before Groundhog Day, and this year was no different, despite the fact that the refuge was still largely covered with snow from the previous weekend’s massive snowstorm.

Around noon, the crowd sang “Wake up Little Timmy!” to get Tim to pop up from his burrow. Tim saw his shadow relatively quickly, indicating that we were in for a long winter.
