Maureen Maiuri, a meteorologist from The John C. Freeman Weather Museum at Weather Research Center, shows a map showing forcast temperatures for February in the US, while portraying a sun mascot during Groundhog Day festivities at the museum, Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008, in Houston. Tuck, a Southern Three Banded Armadillo and the Houston Zoo, and Isis, a Serval (small African cat) from the Downtown Aquarium, both saw their shadows on the sunny morning in a take on the tradition of a groundhog predicting six more weeks of winter by seeing a shadow this day. Human meteorologists from the center, however, predict warmer than average temperatures for February and a near normal March. ( Smiley N. Pool / Chronicle ) (Photo by Smiley N.
