If you’ve got Groundhog Day circled on your calendar but won’t be able to catch Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction in person, the rodent’s got you covered: Come Feb. 2, you can get the news—an early spring, or six more weeks of winter—via text message. And though Phil speaks “groundhog-ese,” the AP notes, the members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club will happily translate. Interested? Text “groundhog” to 247365.
