Punxsutawney Phil emerges for Groundhog Day


Every 2 February since the late 1880s, people have gathered in the Pennsylvanian town of Punxsutawney to watch a groundhog be pulled out of his burrow and presented to the crowd. Legend has it that if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter, if not, spring is around the corner.
