Watch: Punxsutawney Phil emerges for Groundhog Day
AI Summary
Every February 2nd since the late 1880s, people gather in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, for Groundhog Day. The event centers around Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog whose emergence from his burrow is said to predict the length of winter. Legend states that if Phil sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are expected; no shadow indicates an early spring. However, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that Phil's predictions have only been accurate approximately 35% of the time over the last 20 years. The tradition continues to draw crowds despite the groundhog's questionable forecasting record.
