LIVE: It's Groundhog Day! Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow?

Feb 02, 2025
Every year on Groundhog Day, people gather in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to see what Punxsutawney Phil predicts for the weather. This year, Phil saw his shadow, which means there will be six more weeks of winter. Phil's predictions have been around for over 100 years. Legend says if Phil sees his shadow, it will be a longer winter, but if he doesn't, spring might come early. Phil's prediction ceremony takes place in a small hill called Gobbler's Knob, and this year marked the 139th time it happened. The men in top hats are members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle, who protect the legend of Punxsutawney Phil. Phil has predicted more winter over 100 times and an early spring only 21 times. Despite Phil's predictions, they might not always be accurate. In the past decade, he was right only four times out of 10 predictions. Some people even wonder if we should cancel Groundhog Day and have a weather reveal cake instead. The event is a fun tradition, but it's important to remember that it's not always reliable for predicting the weather. So, while Punxsutawney Phil may have said there will be six more weeks of winter, it's all in good fun. Whether it's sunny or snowy outside, Groundhog Day is a time for celebration and excitement. And who knows, maybe next year, Phil will predict an early spring instead!
