It's that time of year again when a furry rodent make its famed weather forecast.
Punxsutawney Phil, the world's celebrity groundhog, will be coaxed from his burrow in western Pennsylvania early today as an anxious nation watches to find out whether we'll have an early spring or six more miserable weeks of cold and snow.
According to legend, if it's sunny and Phil sees his shadow, the scared groundhog returns to his burrow and the U.S. will endure six more weeks of winter.
But if it's cloudy when the groundhog emerges on February 2, the critter won't see his shadow and will leave his burrow, meaning winter will soon end and an early start to spring is coming.
