Keep those shovels handy....

Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog from Pennsylvania, emerged from his burrow on Gobbler Knob Hill and predicted six more weeks of winter this year. If Phil sees his shadow and retreats to his burrow, winter will last longer; if not, spring will come early. This year marks Phil's 139th prediction, with only 20 instances of forecasting an early spring. The tradition of using a groundhog to predict the arrival of spring originated from German immigrants in North America, where a badger initially played the role of weather sage.
