Groundhog sees shadow, predicts more winter

Punxsutawney Phil was pulled from his stump by members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle, including official Groundhog Handler John Griffiths.
?PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP)  Brace yourself for more wintry weather.
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Saturday, leading the groundhog to forecast six more weeks of winter.
The rodent was pulled from his stump by members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle, top-hat- and tuxedo-wearing businessmen who carry out the tradition.
Each Feb. 2, thousands of people descend on Punxsutawney, a town of about 6,100 people some 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, to celebrate what had essentially been a German superstition.
The belief is that if a hibernating animal cast a shadow on Feb. 2  the Christian holiday of Candlemas  winter would last another six weeks. If no shadow was seen, legend said spring would come early.
