PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — There will be six more weeks of winter, Punxsutawney Phil predicted as he emerged from his burrow on a snowy Tuesday morning to perform his Groundhog Day duties.

Members of Phil’s “inner circle” woke up the furry critter at 7:25 a.m. at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to see whether he would see his shadow or not.

Phil saw his shadow — which means six more weeks of winter.

Shortly after this year’s prediction was revealed, one of the members of the inner circle shared a message he said Phil had told him earlier in the day: “After winter, you’re looking forward to one of the most beautiful and brightest springs you’ve ever seen.”

What did Clarksvillians predict?

In a poll on ClarksvilleNow.com last week, the majority of respondents disagreed with Punxsutawney Phil.

Almost 56 percent expect we will see an early spring, while approximately 45 percent side with Phil’s prediction that we will see six more weeks of winter.

So, let it snow?

Only time and Mother Nature will tell, but here’s to another Groundhog Day in the books.
