Punxsutawney Phil (Groundhog)

Punxsutawney Phil is the name given to a groundhog who is the central figure in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania's annual Groundhog Day celebration. On February 2 each year, Punxsutawney holds a ceremony and Phil emerges from his temporary home on Gobbler's Knob. According to the tradition, if Phil sees his shadow and returns to his hole, he has predicted six more weeks of winter-like weather. If Phil does not see his shadow, he has predicted an "early spring."
