PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL DID SEE HIS SHADOW
Six more weeks of winter for the Northern folks
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on February 2 at Gobbler's Knob, giving his groundhog's prediction of six more weeks of winter.
Members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle - the top-hat and tuxedo wearing businessmen responsible for carrying on the groundhog tradition each year made the announcement that he had seen his shadow after waiting some time for him to emerge from his burrow. Thousands of high-spirited spectators turned out to watch the ceremony.
Mike Johnston, a member of the Groundhog Club's Inner Circle says that the tradition comes from a German superstition. The Germans believed that if a hibernating animal casts a shadow Feb. 2 - the Christian holiday of Candlemas - winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will come early.
According to the Groundhog Club, Phil has now seen his shadow 96 times, hasn't seen it 14 times and there are no records for nine years. The last time Phil failed to see his shadow was in 1999.
