Groundhog Day 2026 has once again captured the attention of thousands, as Punxsutawney Phil made his annual weather prediction at Gobbler's Knob in Pennsylvania. According to BOL News, 'tens of thousands of spectators' gathered to witness the event, highlighting its enduring popularity. The tradition, which dates back to 1887, involves Phil predicting either six more weeks of winter or an early spring based on whether he sees his shadow. This year, as reported by Euronews, Phil predicted 'six more weeks of winter,' a forecast that aligns with his historical trend of predicting extended winter, having done so 107 times compared to just 21 predictions of an early spring, according to CBS News.
