Groundhog Day: Punxsutawney Phil set to make prediction about late winter or early spring

If this is your first time hearing of forecasting groundhog Phil from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania; you probably have a lot of questions.

So, who exactly is the woodchuck, the myth, the legend?

According to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, established in 1886, Phil has been providing his predictions for over a century now.

The lifespan of a groundhog in the wild is around six years but a special "elixir of life" is regularly administered to Phil to keep him "immortal".

There is, allegedly, only one Phil.

Phil does have a family and has recently become a new father with wife Phyllis bearing him two pups this past Spring named Sunny and Shadow.
