Groundhog Day

A Pennsylvania Tradition Celebrated Around the World

Every year on February 2, people around the world look to Punxsutawney Phil, Pennsylvania's famous furry forecaster, to wake from his winter slumber and predict the coming of spring. If Phil sees his shadow, he returns to his burrow for another six weeks of winter, but if his shadow remains hidden by the clouds, he stays above ground to prepare for an early spring.
