Default Groundhog Day

Punxsutawney Phil - a "weather predicting" groundhog - has forecast six more weeks of winter in the US, disappointing the crowds of people gathered in the Pennsylvania town for the annual Groundhog Day celebrations.

To chants of "Phil" the rodent was brought out from a tree stump early on Sunday morning to "give" his yearly forecast.

According to folklore, If Phil looks at his own shadow then there will be another six weeks of the North American winter, and if not, then an early spring is on the horizon

"There's a shadow up here, get ready for six more weeks of winter this year," Tom Dunkel, president of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, proclaimed.

The spotlight is on Phil every year on Groundhog Day - a tradition celebrated in the US and Canada which attracts tens of thousands of people.

Well, here, our "groundhog", Our Lady of Candles give a mix result. During the morning the Winter was to end, in the afternoon, we get the similar resulta for "six more weeks of winter".
