Celebrity Groundhog Punsutawney Phil predicts early spring


Celebrity Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil came out of his burrow on Groundhog Day, February 2, 2011 to predict the end of winter. According to legend, if the groundhog does not see its shadow, early spring is heralded.

Punxsutawney Phil calls Punxautawney, Pennsylvania home. The groundhog naturally hibernates during the winter months, but comes out of his slumber to predict the weather on Groundhog Day. Phil was aroused from his hibernation on Groundhog Day and held up to survey the crowd of thousands. He was placed on a platform with a committee of witnesses wearing black cloaks and tophats.
