PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — The handlers of Pennsylvania's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said Monday the furry rodent has forecast six more weeks of winter.
Members of the top hat-wearing Inner Circle announced the "prediction" Monday morning.
A German legend has it that if a furry rodent sees his shadow on Feb. 2, winter will last another six weeks. If not, spring comes early.
The forecast was also announced on Twitter, as was referenced in the official proclamation read by Jeff Lundy, the Fair Weatherman of the Inner Circle.
"Forecasts abound on the Internet, but, I, Punxsutawney Phil am still your best bet. Yes, a shadow I see, you can start to Twitter, hash tag: Six more weeks of winter!"

Such bs it was cloudy out and snowing how did he see his Shadow.?
Because Jimbo said so!
Phil the Prophet strikes again.
At least DiBlabbio didn't drop and kill the poor groundhog like he did last year.
Drop big bird on his head
We would not have winter if it were not for you driving cars...
BAN CARS---Warm weather everyday
9:53, I wondered the same thing. I was shocked & knowing there will be 6 more weeks of winter, regardless.
I predict the easter bunny will bring colored eggs.
