It's Groundhog Day, a special day for fans of weather-predicting rodents! Here's Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction about winter.

Crowds of Phil fanatics gathered early Sunday morning for the 139th Groundhog Day, waiting for the Prognosticator of Prognosticators to make his prediction. The ceremony began at 6 a.m., but shuttles began busing people to Gobbler's Knob hours before.

Reporting live from Gobbler's Knob in Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil is expected to predict 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring.

The lovable and much ballyhooed Punxsutawney Phil will again trek out of its burrow in Young Township near Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to see or ignore its shadow. If it does and returns to its hole, it has predicted six more weeks of winter-like weather. If it does not see its shadow, an early spring is predicted.

Groundhog Day marks the midpoint of winter, blending European folklore with modern fun as Americans turn to a groundhog’s shadow to predict the season’s outcome — either six more weeks of winter or an early spring.
