Octoraro Orphie will make two weather predictions on Sunday morning, February 2.
The first will be the traditional prognostication. If Orphie sees his shadow, winter will last six more weeks. If not, spring is just around the corner.

    The reports were unanimous.
   From Puddle Duck Creek to the Refton Shale Belt, squads from the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge reported woodchucks peered from their holes just after dawn on Saturday, saw their shadows, and retreated back underground to sleep through six more weeks of winter.
   The reports and the official prognostication were delivered on the lodge grounds in White Rock, Colerain Township, shortly before 9 a.m. on February 2.

    There will be dueling bands at this year's Groundhog Day celebration.
   In addition to the lodge's marching band, members of a country band will also perform.
   "A couple of members went to the board and said they were willing to sponsor the band if we would agree and we did," said Rick Rankin, the lodge's Hibernating Governor.
