The Groundhog Day celebration is rooted in a German superstition that says if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2, the Christian holiday of Candlemas, winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow was seen, legend said spring would come early.

Wiarton Willie forecasts an early spring, while Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter.
I believe Willie, because it's been getting warm here lately.

Gobbler's Knob.... please..
What I don't understand is after that very large dude wearing the tophat grabs him, holds him up for the screaming crowd, waves Phil around in the air, then puts him back down on the ground, OF COURSE he's going to run back into his hole... duh! After that, I wouldn't come back outta my nest for 6 weeks either.

several years ago they decided to crack down on drinking during the celebration.
so you can't drink at Gobbler's Knob (where phil lives), but anywhere else in Punxsutawney is cool.
that makes sense, no?
no. freakin' prudes.
