PHILADELPHIA — Snow was still on the ground Wednesday in the Philadelphia region, and Punxsutawney Phil doesn’t expect things to change for the next six weeks.
The nation’s most popular marmot saw his shadow Wednesday morning after scurrying out of a burrow at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney. As the legend goes, that means the country can expect below-average temperatures for the next six weeks.
After the pandemic limited crowds last year, tens of thousands of people gathered in the small western Pennsylvania town to watch the ceremony, hosted by the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.
