Top Cutlines — 2/3/06

A frog named Snohomish Slew is held up by Dallas Van Dyke as a crowd watches the inaugural Groundfrog Day festivities in downtown Snohomish, Wash., Thursday morning, Feb. 2, 2006. In a ceremony modeled after Groundhog Day, event organizers said the frog predicted more wet weather for the region and that the Seattle Seahawks would win the Super Bowl over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Detroit.
