Detroit Lakes , MN (KDLM)-
Punxsutawney Phil’s winter weather forecast IS:
an early spring during his annual winter weather forecast.
The forecast came from Gobbler’s Knob, the scene of the largest and best-known Groundhog Day celebration in the United States.
The annual event is a tongue-in-cheek ritual in which Phil’s handlers, members of a club with roots in the late 19th century, reveal whether the groundhog has seen his shadow — ushering in six more weeks of winter weather — or hasn’t, presaging early spring like weather.
