The famous groundhog and his partner Phyllis welcomed two baby groundhogs -- also called pups, kits or cubs -- in March 2024, making Punxsutawney Phil the first prophetic groundhog to do so since 1886, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

Are you prepared for another six weeks of winter? In an annual tradition, Punxsutawney Phil made that prediction when he saw his shadow during the annual Groundhog Day on Feb. 2 in central Pennsylvania.

In Georgia, about 50 miles southeast of Atlanta in Jackson, a groundhog named “General Beauregard Lee” saw his shadow, his handlers declared, meaning six more weeks of winter. It was said that Shubenacadie Sam at a wildlife park in Nova Scotia, Canada, also saw her shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter.
