- The spotlight returns to Gobbler’s Knob in western Pennsylvania this week, when handlers of a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil will announce his verdict - six more weeks of winter or an early spring.
Thousands are expected to attend the annual event that exploded in popularity after the 1993 Bill Murray movie, “Groundhog Day.”
It’s part of a tradition rooted in European agricultural life and marks the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
Phil predicts more winter far more often than he predicts an early spring. Several who have looked at his record have concluded Phil's weather reports are worse than an even-money bet. - Zábava
Hell yeah,keep the tradition rolling
The photo in the thumbnail is amazing! Someone should sell copies!👍❤
It’s just a little fun. It’s 6 more weeks no matter what happens. Shadow or not.
Happy Groundhogday 2024 to everyone 😎😎👍😃
im waiting for the groundhog prediction for early spring
Look, its a local festival that involves a groundhog "predicting" the weather. If you're not from the local area, then i wouldn't expect any of you to understand. Just roll with it and have fun.
I have always celebrated ground hog day.
"One Prairie Dog Day"
People wait an wait for a Prairie Dog
for him to come up out of ground
Did not know he was in a hollow log
They sat on his log an stood around
On a year with no winter just the fog

Why is this still a thing? 🤨
Because it's local fun tradition in a hole-in-the-wall-town in Pennsylvania. Don't be a Debby downer.
how dare you question the seer of sears
No op river
After 1993, it is now known as Punxstawney 'Bill',,,,,,,,
Groundhog day is superstition, and the Bible says that superstitions are from the Devil/Satan. Just look up the word superstitions in the Strong's concordance.
