Punxsutawney Phil Predicts More Winter on Groundhog Day 2021

The world’s most famous groundhog just made its bold prediction for the rest of winter … and it looks like we’re in for a cold one, folks.

Punxsutawney Phil was awakened, once again, early Tuesday morning for Groundhog Day in Gobbler’s Knob, PA and got put to work giving us a forecast for the rest of the season. Ol’ Phil saw his shadow … so, as they say, 6 more weeks of winter.

This year’s celebration was a little more pared down compared to its usual gathering, which would include a way bigger crowd of in-person spectators.

Organizers of the annual event streamed it virtually for folks at home, but there was Phil’s regular group of “Inner Circle” top hat buddies who attended — most of whom were masked up … carrying on tradition.

Now, the fact the woodchuck is expecting more cold days ahead isn’t all that surprising … the furry little bastards have predicted that 106 times over the course of a 135-year run that they’ve been looking to Phil for a weather report.

This year actually proves to be meaningful, especially up there in the Northeast — where winter storm Orlena has covered several states in several feet of snow.

So yeah, Groundhog Day 2021 is pretty much spot-on.
