TL;DR

Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring after not seeing his shadow at Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania, with other groundhogs making similar forecasts. The annual celebration, rooted in a German legend, drew crowds and featured quirky rituals, including Phil being prompted to make his weather prediction by choosing a scroll. In New York City, Staten Island Chuck also predicted an early spring, boasting a high accuracy rate, while in Woodstock, Illinois, Woodstock Willie did not see his shadow, according to longtime Chicago television news meteorologist Tom Skilling.
