What's Punxsutawney Phil Saying



Happy Groundhog’s Day!
Today we hear from Punxsutawney Phil
on whether or not he has seen his shadow.
If he does, then winter will last longer than usual.

Today Is The Day


It's Groundhog Day.
The holiday began as a Pennsylvania German custom in the 18th century. Seems that if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end. If on the other hand, the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks.

A Shadow Looming?

CELEBRATE GROUNDHOG DAY
by finding your shadow
(if you don't, it's six more weeks of winter)
