Punxsutawney Phil Saw His Shadow....6 More Weeks of Winter?

Punxsutawney Phil Isn’t Always Right

This morning in Punxsutawney, PA., their prized groundhog Phil did emerge from his lair and see his shadow. He ran back inside which means we will have 6 more weeks of winter.

The National Climatic Data Center claims Phil is wrong more than he is right? The citizens of Punxsutawney do not agree as they claim there is always winter somewhere in the country. The NCDC claims he is wrong 51% of the time and 49% correct.

Phil and his ancestors have predicted winter 99 times and no winter 16 times since the first time in 1887.

There were approximately 5000 visitors and locals who gathered at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, PA before dawn and waited for Phil to emerge. Phil lives in a semi heated simulated tree and predicts if there will be an early spring or 6 more weeks of winter. This yearly event ends with a big picnic and fireworks.

Everyone, do not put your coats away just yet!
