On February 2nd, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow in Pennsylvania and saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter. Groundhog Day has become an American tradition that is celebrated by millions of people each year, and it originated with a badger predicting the weather in folklore. Phil has been faithfully predicting the weather for over 130 years, and this year his prediction was made as a deadly storm wreaked havoc in the South.
