Every year on February 2nd Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania 20,000 or more people gather for to see if Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow at sunrise as folklore has it if he sees is shadow, there will be 6 more weeks of winter and if not there will be an early Spring.
The tradition was made even more popular after the 1993 movie "Groundhog Day" starring Bill Murray where he ended up in a time warp stuck reliving Groundhog Day every day.
If you believe in weather predicting rodents, we are in for warmer weather soon as Phil did not see his shadow.
In honor of the celebration, here is a roundup for Groundhog Day items.
