Punxsutawney Phil is a groundhog famous for his role in predicting the weather on Groundhog Day, celebrated every February 2nd. According to tradition, if Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter; if he does not, spring will arrive early. This event takes place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The first official Groundhog Day celebration occurred in 1887, and Phil has since become a symbol of this quirky tradition. Each year, thousands of visitors gather at Gobblers Knob to witness the prediction, making it a popular event in American culture.
