In a yearly American tradition, a famous groundhog has predicted there will be six more weeks of winter. The animal, named Punxsutawney Phil, climbed out of his hole Tuesday morning in the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. A ceremony takes place each February 2 to mark the tradition, which is known as Groundhog Day. If the groundhog can see his shadow, the tradition says, there will be six more weeks of winter. If the animal’s shadow cannot be seen, Americans can expect an early spring. A group of people from the local community lead the ceremony. They are known as Punxsutawney Phil’s “inner circle.” Members of the group said they woke the furry creature up at 7:25 a.m.
