Punxsutawney Phil sees shadow: six more weeks of winter

The world's most famous groundhog saw his shadow Monday morning, predicting this already long winter will last for six more weeks.


Ben Hughes, handler of the weather-predicting groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, held the famous rodent up in front of a crowd of about 13,000 witnesses.

The annual ritual takes place on Gobbler's Knob, a tiny hill in Punxsutawney, a borough of about 6,100 residents some 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
