Dear students in class 703:

Here is the answer to your question.
Six students think that Phil will see his shadow because of all the
bright lights from television and news crews. The other 20 Students, and
Mrs. Divelbiss, believe that Phil will not see his shadow and that we
will soon be celebrating the beginning of Spring! Who's right? The world
will find out Monday!
