On Groundhog Day 2026, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter.

The 140th annual ceremony took place early Monday morning at Gobbler’s K**b in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Tens of thousands of spectators gathered in freezing temperatures—roughly -2°F—to witness the world's most famous marmot emerge from his burrow.

2026 Prediction Highlights:
The Verdict: Phil saw his shadow at approximately 7:25 a.m. ET.
Historical Context: This marks the 110th time Phil has predicted six more weeks of winter since records began in 1887.

Despite the pageantry, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) notes that Phil's long-term accuracy rate is roughly 30% to 40%.
