- Handler John Griffiths holds up Punxsutawney Phil before the groundhog saw his shadow on Thursday morning at Gobbler's Knob. According to lore, there will be six more weeks of winter because Phil "saw" his shadow.
More than 18,000 people descended on Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney for the annual Groundhog Day celebration.
Despite what has been an unseasonably warm winter, Punxsutawney Phil seemed to disappoint most of the big crowd with his prediction of six more weeks of winter.
