Don't Believe Groundhog Day Forecast

There's a lot of worry winter will linger, making it too cold for boardsailing:

CBS News reports: "Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. Legend says that means six more weeks of winter weather. The groundhog drew boos from thousands of people who gathered in 17-degree weather to await the annual weather prediction.

Not to worry, meet Punxsutawney Phil's ex-wife and read what she has to say.
