Punxsutawney Phil's prediction of an early Spring seems elusive to anyone venturing out on this Groundhog Day.
The few drivers seen on the road found their cars either stuck in over a foot of snow or sliding on thick sheets of ice. A gas-guzzling — but mobile — SUV seems downright desirable right now.
This morning, broadcast meteorists spoke of spinouts, jack-knived trucks, abandoned cars littering highways and the more than 1,300 flights canceled at O'Hare Airport.
While the snow appears to be stopping, the work has only begun.
Is it really a surprise that Phil's accuracy level is only 39 percent!

My truck and tow rope had lots of use that day thanks for putting a picture of my trick up!

Thanks for getting that guy out (and providing some additional excitement to the photo!). Had you not come along, he and his son would've been there at least another half-hour shoveling to break free.
