Groundhogday tradition began in 1887, Phil(and his ancestors) saw their
shadows 99 times, while predicting an early spring only 16 times.
Thousands are expected to gather at Gobbler' Knob to watch Phile merge from hi dwelling.
Will
spring come early this year?
According
to the folklore, the answer hinges on a groundhog and the right
weather conditions on February 2.
If
a groundhog emerges from its burrow and see it's shadow , then six
more weeks of winter weather is on the way. But if it comes out and
see no shadow , spring is forecast to come early.
Punxsutawney,
the Pennsylvania town that is home to one of the most famous
weather-predicting groundhogs, Punxsutawney Phil, has been carrying
on the tradition of Groundhog Day since the 1800s,according to The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.
