Every year on February 2, the groundhog emerges from his burrow to see whether or not he sees his own shadow as a way to predict the weather. This year, he had seen his shadow resulting in the prediction of a longer winter. Legend says that if Phil does not see his shadow, the weather will get warmer faster and there will be an early spring, and if he does, winter will continue for the next six weeks.
In addition to Punxsutawney Phil, there are also other groundhogs across the nation: Buckeye Chuck in Ohio, General Beauregard Lee in Georgia, and Staten Island Chuck in New York, who all emerged from burrows Sunday morning to predict either the continuing winter or coming spring. However, not all of the groundhogs were able to reach a consensus this year. Buckeye Chuck and Staten Island Chuck had predicted an early spring while Phil and General Beauregard Lee predicted a longer winter.
In recent years, the annual festival has even been live-streamed to people as early as six in the morning, as members of the top hat-wearing Inner Circle announce the groundhog’s “forecast.”. However, what made this year so special was that it was Phil’s first Groundhog Day as a father. At the time the famous groundhog’s Facebook page made the announcement, writing, “We have Babies!! The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club is very excited to announce that Phil and Phyllis have given birth to two healthy baby Groundhogs!”.
