Six more weeks of winter or an early spring? Hundreds will gather at the Holtsville Ecology Site on Tuesday, Feb. 2, to hear Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Daniel Losquadro announce Holtsville Hal's famous forecast. According to tradition, if a groundhog sees its shadow after stirring from hibernation on Groundhog Day, there will be six more weeks of winter weather; if not, spring should arrive early. Superintendent Losquadro will reveal Hal's forecast at approximately 7:25 a.m. Holtsville Hal will not be the only animal available for viewing. Following the ceremony, residents are welcome to enjoy free hot chocolate and visit the Animal Preserve, which will be open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. with more than 100 animals on display.
