Groundhog Day 2025

It’s that time of year again when anticipation builds as Punxsutawney Phil, Pennsylvania's most renowned groundhog, prepares to share his winter forecast. This year, an unprecedented crowd gathered at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, on Sunday to witness Phil emerged from his hibernation and delivered his latest seasonal prediction. So, did he see his shadow?

 

Sadly for those eager to begin their spring preparations, Phil did indeed see his shadow, indicating that we can expect six more weeks of winter. Last year, he predicted the early arrival of spring. Over the last decade, his forecasts have been nearly even, with six predictions of extended winter and four predictions of early spring.

 

What is Groundhog Day?

The beloved Pennsylvania tradition dates back to 1886. Every year, on Feb. 2, the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club visits Phil’s official home in Gobbler’s Knob. Once there, they try to wake up their furry friend Phil. Once Phil comes out of his home, an immense crowd of spectators excitedly awaits his next move. According to legend, if Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter, whereas if he doesn’t, then early spring is expected.
