#2 Gmoser filed an indictment against Phil which reads accordingly:

On or about February 02,2013, at Gobblers Knob, Punxsutawney Phil did purposely, and with prior calculation and design, cause the people to believe that Spring would come early. Contrary to the Groundhog day report, a snowstorm and record low temperatures have been and are predicted to continue in the near future, which constitutes the offense of MISREPRESENTATION OF EARLY SPRING, a Unclassified Felony, and against the peace and dignity of the State Of Ohio.

SPECIFICATION: The people further find and specify that due to the aggravating circumstances and misrepresentation to the people that the death penalty be implemented to the defendant, Punxsutawney Phil

Gmoser said in a phone interview that waking up to snow and temperatures in the teens on the second day of spring motivated the indictment.

When he betrays us like this, something has to be done, Gmoser said.

Gmoser expects Phil to appeal.

#3 Mr. ~~Gomer~~ Gmoser, if you get your weather forecasts from a RODENT, you deserve whatever happens to you.

Next time, try the local weather forecaster.
