About Groundhog Day 2026
Every February 2nd, all eyes turn to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, as Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his burrow to deliver his famous weather forecast. According to folklore — rooted in Pennsylvania Dutch tradition — if Phil spots his shadow under clear skies, he ducks back underground and winter drags on for six more weeks. Cloudy skies mean no shadow and an early spring. The Punxsutawney ceremony has been running since 1887, though Phil's track record sits at roughly 39 percent accuracy. Regardless, the ritual has become a beloved slice of Americana, bolstered further by the 1993 film that made the holiday a pop-culture fixture.
