Punxsutawney Phil -- perhaps the world's most famous groundhog -- saw his shadow meaning, according to legend, that we will have six more weeks of winter.

So while there have likely been several Punxsutawney Phils since 1886, the Groundhog Club doesn't publicize that information, maintaining that Phil is over 130 years old thanks to the elixir of life. (The club also maintains that Phil is accurate 100% of the time, while the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says it's more like 35% ).

Punxsutawney Phil may get skewered for his iffy weather predictions, but his parties don't miss. Driving the news: More than 40,000 visitors gathered at Gobbler's Knob on Sunday to celebrate western Pennsylvania's prophetic groundhog — and I was one of them.
