Punxsutawney Phil scurried out of his little marmot hole on Friday, February 2nd and saw his shadow. This omen indicates a long winter. Every February 2, all eyes turn to a small central Pennsylvania borough as winter-weary Northeasterners await weather guidance from the predictive rodent. The tradition is 132 years old tradition and it's held every year at the location known as Gobbler's Knob.
