Groundhog Day Gloom: Punxsutawney Phil Says More Winter Ahead

https://www.breitbart.com/weather/2...oom-punxsutawney-phil-says-more-winter-ahead/

SIMON KENT 2 Feb 2025

Don’t put those winter woollens away just yet. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Sunday and six more weeks of wintry weather are now predicted, his top-hatted handlers announced to a noisy, record-sized crowd at chilly Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania.

AP reports the perky woodchuck was welcomed with chants of “Phil, Phil, Phil,” and delivered from a hatch on his tree stump shortly after sunrise before a member of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club read from a scroll in which he boasted: “Only I know — you can’t trust A.I.”

Phil’s weather forecast is an annual ritual that goes back more than a century in western Pennsylvania, with far older roots in European folklore, but it took Bill Murray’s 1993 Groundhog Day movie to transform the event into what it is today, with tens of thousands of revelers at the scene and imitators scattered around the country and beyond.
 
How often has this groundhog actually been right?

similar to coin flip, if you leave off one in Georgia ( not real winters) and leave off Puxatwney ( correct only 35 percent ) and avg top 16 comes to 56.18 percent accurate
