Groundhog Day 2015 – Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter
Punxsutawney Phil, the American groundhog famous for his weather predictions, saw his shadow after emerging from his burrow atop Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania on Monday, forecasting six more weeks of winter.
Phil’s prediction came at about 7:25 a.m. EST in the Western Pennsylvania borough of Punxsutawney, the self-proclaimed weather capital of the world, where some in the group chanted “six more weeks, six more weeks” as they waited for the groundhog.
Legend has it that if the groundhog sees his shadow, North America will experience six more weeks of winter. If he does not see his shadow, cold weather is on its way out. (REUTERS)
