Groublogpon – The Serious Blog of Groupon

There are still hurt feelings after Punxsutawney Phil’s declaration of six more weeks of winter. This year we encourage you to challenge this rodent’s pushy prognostications. One should be free to wear a spring jacket or a winter parka regardless of a Groundhog’s flippant ruling. Groupon endorses this free-thinking by offering the choice of cool-weather deals or skipping to spring with outdoorsy deals.

The Groundhog relishes his undue influence over the weather—but YOU have a shadow, too! Let your shadow be heard—submit a photo of your shadow via Twitter to @Groupon_Says with the hashtag #GrouponShadow between now and Feb. 8. The most creative shadow scores 100 Groupon bucks, so don’t let your body define what your shadow looks like! Click here for complete contest rules.

An amateur weather-woodchuck should not be the voice of reason when it comes to predicting seasons. Read more about the history of this so-called holiday and make it a point to take back the power, fellow human.
