Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania

On February 2 Punxsutawney Phil is sought out for his weather prognosticating skills. Members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's inner circle in Punxsutawney Pa run the show every year. Wearing top hats at Gobbler's Knob the group brings Phil out from his stump and reads the official proclamation. Will there be an early spring or more winter? The legend goes, if Phil sees his shadow there will be 6 more weeks of winter.
