Malverne Mel Gets Set To Make Annual Groundhog Day Prediction

MALVERNE, NY —While we wait for a snowstorm, the next question is-- how long will winter last?

We should get some "unofficial" answers on Groundhog Day when Malverne Mel emerges.

Crowds can gather for the annual prognostication at Crossroads Farm on Hempstead Avenue.

We'll see if Mel sees his shadow and if we get six more weeks of winter or an early spring is upon us on Tuesday.

The event is scheduled for 7 a.m.
