Breaking News: The Groundhog Knows All! This morning, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow, took one look at his shadow, and made the call—six more weeks of winter! But here’s the truth the networks won’t tell you… FACT CHECK: There are only three more weeks of meteorological winter left, followed by three weeks until the spring equinox. That’s right—whether Phil sees his shadow or not, spring arrives right on schedule—unless you're in Central New York, where it might not hit until sometime toward the end of June! So, is Phil ever wrong? Nope! He’s a branding genius—the OG weather influencer, keeping us talking year after year! His forecast always lines up because in exactly six weeks, winter will start finally giving way to spring. Timing is everything! So grab your hot cocoa, bundle up a little longer, and enjoy the show ( no matter what, the seasons will change, and Phil? He’ll be back next year to remind us all again. #GroundhogDay #PhilKnowsAll #SixMoreWeeks #SpringIsComing

I have my Punxsutawney Phil shirt on in honor of his prognostication. Of course, I’m in Florida right now, and I don’t care if he saw his shadow.

Well, I'm in CNY and wouldn't care wither, except that I am a PA native with PA Dutch ancestry.

@Chellezhere — every place has its own lore. It was a fun place to visit. I really liked the various statues of groundhogs around the city.

@FourWalls Yes, they do. I like that in Europe a hedgehog was used but PA didn't have any, so we got Phil.

I wonder how old the groundhog is and I am sure there have been a long line of Phils.

Yes, good marketing I think. We're having a very hot summer. I won't be sorry to see autumn arrive.
