Pennsylvania’s “official state meteorologist” Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Sunday morning, predicting six more weeks of winter.
Sunday’s joyous occasion was the 138th prognostication in Punxsutawney, located in Jefferson County. The festivities kicked off at 6 a.m. in a cold 20 degrees, and Phil made his appearance to the eager crowd at 7:22 a.m. It included singing, dancing, live music and fireworks to amp up the crowd ahead of Phil’s prediction.
Gov. Josh Shapiro, D-Pa., spoke early on during the annual festivities at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pa., rebuffing People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (PETA) demands to replace the beloved animal with something vegan.
