5 weeks ago
Punxsutawney Phil, the legendary groundhog of Pennsylvania, has forecast six more weeks of winter. On Monday, Phil emerged from his tree stump at Gobbler’s Knob in rural Pennsylvania and saw his shadow, signaling that winter weather will continue before spring arrives.
The tradition dates back more than a century and has roots in European farming customs. It has grown in popularity over the years, especially following the 1993 movie Groundhog Day. Every year, crowds gather to watch the groundhog’s prediction, making it one of the most highly anticipated weather events of the season.
