The worldâs most famous groundhog just made its bold prediction for the rest of winter ⊠and it looks like weâre in for a cold one, folks.
Punxsutawney Phil was awakened, once again, early Tuesday morning for Groundhog Day in Gobblerâs Knob, PA and got put to work giving us a forecast for the rest of the season. Olâ Phil saw his shadow ⊠so, as they say, 6 more weeks of winter.

This yearâs 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 Philâs regular group of âInner Circleâ top hat buddies who attended â most of whom were masked up ⊠carrying on tradition.
Now, the fact the woodchuck is expecting more cold days ahead isnât all that surprising ⊠the furry little bastards have predicted that 106 times over the course of a 135-year run that theyâve been looking to Phil for a weather report.
This year actually proves to be meaningful, especially up there in the Northeast â where winter storm Orlena has covered several states in several feet of snow.
So yeah, Groundhog Day 2021 is pretty much spot-on.
Thanks, PP ⊠couldnât have done it without you! Also, thanks for the heads up on last yearâs pandemic đ
