Festivities began when legendary local groundhog Woodstock Willie made his seasonal debut in front of the Woodstock Opera House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019ve never visited OWC\u2019s hometown, chances are you\u2019ve spent more than a few Groundhog Days in Woodstock without realizing it. The town famously stood in for Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania in Harold Ramis\u2019 classic 1993 film <em>Groundhog Day<\/em>, starring Bill Murray as self-absorbed weatherman Phil Connors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-on-location\">On location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Woodstock&#8217;s local landmarks abound in <em>Groundhog Day<\/em>\u2019s many memorable scenes. This clip below from YouTube\u2019s popular <em>Beyond the Backlot <\/em>series takes viewers on a tour of the historic town square, bell tower, and shop-fronts that figure prominently in the iconic film:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='1170' height='659' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jecZxVVamFU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Groundhog Days combines a dinner dance, a pub crawl, a walking tour of sites shown in the movie, a community singalong with the Die Musikmeisters polka band, and celebratory screenings of the film itself. And of course it culminates in Woodstock Willie\u2019s weather forecast in historic Woodstock Square. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodstockgroundhog.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Groundhog Days<\/a> is something everyone (especially fans of the movie!) should experience once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-willie-has-spoken\">Willie has spoken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Best of all, <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/groundhog-day-2022-woodstock-willie-shadow\/11532000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Woodstock Willie emerged with good news today<\/a>: no shadow, early spring on the way. (Of course, those of us who have lived in the upper midwest tend to regard springs that arrive <em>only<\/em> six weeks after Groundhog Day as early<em>.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if none of us would want to get stuck in a time loop like Phil Connors, repeating the same day over and over again for years, when it comes to backing up data, redundancy is a must! When you\u2019re ready to commit to <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/hard-drives\/sata\/RAID-Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">redundant and reliable RAID storage<\/a>, OWC can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, as garrulous insurance salesman Ned Ryerson tells Phil Connors, &#8220;Watch out for that first step\u2013it\u2019s a doozy!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
