PUNXSUTAWNEY, Penn.—The famous oracle rodent Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday after coming out of hibernation, Sunday, Feb. 2. By seeing his shadow, he predicts six more weeks of winter and supposedly will go back to a cozy hibernation.

With this week’s warm front, it’s hard to believe that winter will continue, but most Parkites will take Phil’s word for it an hope for more snow.
