The tradition of a groundhog predicting the weather has spanned centuries. Here is what you need to know about Punxsutawney Phil and Groundhog Day.

Today, Punxsutawney lore is showcased through Gobbler’s Knob, the home of Punxsutawney Phil and the location of his annual prediction party. It also incorporates various buildings such as a welcome center with interactive exhibits about Groundhog Day.

Punxsutawney Phil usually makes his weather call early in the morning. It typically happens after 7 a.m. Tradition says Phil seeing his shadow is a sign that the next six weeks will bring wintry weather. If Phil doesn't see his shadow, it means an early spring.
