Punxsutawney Phil Predicts Six More Weeks Of Winter

Groundhog Day falls on the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.

Monday is Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil made his prediction.

The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club at Gobbler’s Knob in Western Pennsylvania reported that the animal did see his shadow. That means there will be an additional six more weeks of winter weather.

Groundhog Day falls on the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. The tradition is rooted in European agricultural life, but the science behind it could be questioned.
