Bob Brandt sets down Unadilla Billie, the town's newest taxidermic groundhog, in the middle of the street to see if she casts a shadow outside the town community center during a small gathering in Downtown Unadilla on Friday. Billie did not cast a shadow, which means an early spring. Nationally, live groundhog Punxsutawney Phil also predicted an early spring. People in Lincoln and southeast Nebraska have already been experiencing a very early spring, with temperatures on Friday reaching into the 60s for the third day in a row. The forecast calls for temperatures that are somewhat cooler but still well above average. The National Weather Service is forecasting a high in the low 50s on Saturday, around 50 on Sunday and then 50s and maybe even more 60s next week. There also is a 50% chance of rain on both Saturday and Sunday.
