We Haven't Had Our Fill Of Winter, Says Punxsutawney Phil

this not exactly welcome news as a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain falls in Westchester. But we should get ready for six more weeks of winter.

According to Punxsutawney Phil of Groundhog Day fame, at least.

The furry rodent emerged from its burrow and saw its shadow early Monday morning in Punxsutawney, Pa., meaning  six more weeks of winter. 

According to American folklore and movie pop culture, if it is cloudy, and he fails to see his shadow, then spring will come early. 

The nation's largest Groundhog Day celebration, made famous in the Bill Murray movie of the same name, is held in Punxsutawney, although a few other towns, including Manchester, Conn., hold similar groundhog prediction rituals.

Relying on a groundhog to predict an early or late spring has become an American tradition, but do you actually believe it? Cast your vote now.

VALHALLA — National Transportation Safety Board investigators spent Wednesday poring over the train-SUV crash scene where six people died and 15 were injured Tuesday.

"We do have grade crossing accidents, and most of the time it's fatal for occupants of the vehicles and not for train passengers," NTSB board member Robert Sumwalt told reporters Wednesday. "We intend to find out what makes this accident different."

He said the agency was focused on two questions: "Why was the car on the train tracks and what caused this accident to be fatal for occupants of the train?"

U.S. Sen Charles Schumer said in a phone conference Wednesday afternoon that the train was traveling 58 miles an hour, which is within the 60 mph speed limit for that stretch of tracks.

He said it was, "too early to point fingers, but we must get the bottom of this.''

Sumwalt said at a late-afternoon briefing that the NTSB was not confirming that speed figure pending further analysis. He said one of the train's event recorders "has been downloaded here on site" successfully and the other was shipped back to NTSB headquarters for analysis.

He said the investigation will include experts in fire science, signals, and crossings, to name a few. The team will review events recorders that monitor the Metro-North train's speed and brakes. They will also have access to video from the crossing and will review the crossing itself to ensure it meets federal standards.

"We will be documenting the wreckage," he said. "We have already asked for aerial footage." Members will be using special 3-D laser scanning devices to take images of the train and also attempting to get any available data from the SUV.

A "high priority" for investigators will be talking to the train engineer, conductor and crew, Sumwalt said. He expects those interviews to take place Thursday or Friday.

"The people who operate the train have been through a lot of trauma," he said. "We have to wait until they are in a condition so when they can talk to us."
