Punxsutawney Phil made his 134th prediction on Sunday
on Saturday, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his slumber at 7:30 a.m. and did not see his shadow, which means an early spring is supposedly on the horizon.
“Now my forecast on a day that’s a palindrome will cause some to cheer and some to moan. So do I hope you think it’s neighborly, for there is no shadow of me, spring it’ll be early, it’s a certainty,” a member of Phil’s Inner Circle read from a scroll to cheers and applause from the crowd, according toNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration“You’re better off trying to decide what the rest of February and March will look like by flipping a coin,” said CNN meteorologist Judson Jones.
records also show that Phil is far more likely to see his shadow and has only predicted an early spring 20 times in the last 133 years.
