Punxsutawney Phil, the world's most famous weather predicting rodent, saw his shadow today on Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. According to legend, this means that six more weeks of winter are forthcoming.

Phil has been making predictions about the end of winter on February 2nd since 1886. It is the number one claim to fame of this small city of approximately 7,500 people about an hour's drive from Pittsburgh.

The ceremony was immortalized in the film 'Groundhog Day' starring Bill Murray.

More than 2,200 people gathered in the cold today to see what Phil had to say. They booed the rodent when he made his prediction of six more weeks on winter. 'He's only the messenger!' cried out one of the members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club who holds the ceremony each year.

This is the 95th time Phil has seen his shadow according to a spokesperson for the Punxsutawney Club. He hasn't seen his shadow only 14 times. No record is available for nine years since the traditional ceremony started.

For those who are worried about winter lasting longer, no need to panic. Pitchers and catchers report to spring training in another two weeks. Spring can't be too far away.
