Sorry, Georgia. The state’s official rodent weatherman has predicted six more weeks of winter weather.
Gen. Beauregard Lee peered out of his home at Dauset Trails Nature Preserve and saw his shadow Friday morning, shortly after sunrise. That means that instead of an early spring, metro Atlanta will have to endure six more harsh weeks of cold.
But when I exited my house, what did I see? I saw a shadow of you and a shadow of me!

I am sorry folks, but old man winter prevails! Happy Groundhog Day!
Yours truly, Beau ❄️☃️ #GroundhogDay2018 #GeneralBeauregardLee
This was Beau’s first year celebrating Groundhog Day at Dauset Trails in Jackson. The Yellow River Game Ranch, where Beau and his predecessors predicted the weather for decades, closed in December. Beau was relocated in January.
Beau only makes his long-range prediction once a year, so stick with Channel 2 Action News meteorologists for your day-to-day forecasts.
