We have one groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, that says 6 more weeks of winter, while the other, Woodstock Willie, says an early spring. Taking my 4 fur kids out this morning in a snowstorm I for one go with Punxsutawney Phil who has been the predicating Groundhog since 1886. It is my understanding that all the Groundhogs used over the years are descendants of the first Punxsutawney Phil.

Punxsutawney Phil has given us his highly anticipated annual weather prediction for Groundhog Day—six more weeks of winter.
Every year, on February 2, people across the U.S. turn to a familiar meteorological marmot to determine whether the end of the winter season is in sight in a popular tradition known as Groundhog Day.
The customary ceremony is held each year at Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania, where people gather to await Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction.
According to tradition, if Punxsutawney Phil spots his shadow and the weather is clear, another six weeks of winter lie ahead. However, if he does not see his shadow and the day is overcast, we’re set for an early spring.
In this instance, Phil did catch a glimpse of his shadow, indicating that six more weeks of winter loom.
When watching and reading this next part keep in mind, we are in the middle of our first major snowstorm this winter. So, we are under heavy cloud cover with no sign of the warming Sun in sight🤣
For those in the Midwestern United States here is

He was joined by the Groundhog Polka Band and hundreds of spectators at the northwest suburb’s historic town square.
The crowd cheered after it was announced Willie had not seen his shadow, signaling an early spring. If Willie had seen his shadow, it would mean six more weeks of winter.
