Photo Release -- "Beau's Day of Glory, Y'all" -- Georgia's Groundhog Predicts "Spring" for Deserving U.S. Citizenry!


LILBURN, Ga., Feb. 2, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- SUNRISE -- General Beau Lee, Ph.D., Georgia's Official Weather Prognosticator, did not spot his shadow at Georgia's Yellow River Game Ranch. The Honorable Cathy Cox, Georgia's Secretary of State, proclaimed, "Spring Sneezes and Petunias Ahead!"

Beau waddled from his Southern Mansion at 7:34 AM (EST) in nippy 37-degree weather, lured by a high protein health plate -- Cheese 'N Eggs and Grilled Chicken, created by Waffle House. Beau has a 93% rate of accuracy. The other one does not.
