Punxsutawney Phil

Every year near the end of Winter, people in the United States celebrate the inherited German tradition of Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog either a) seeing his shadow, or b) not seeing his shadow. If Phil sees his shadow, this means there will be a longer Winter. If not, this means there will be an early Spring! This tradition takes place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
