Punxsutawney Phil Doesn't See Shadow, Predicts Early Spring

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Pa. (CBS) -- Warmer weather is on its way, according to Punxsutawney Phil. Phil the Groundhog made his annual prediction Sunday morning at Gobbler's Knobb in Jefferson County.

Just before 7:30 a.m., Phil determined there would be an early spring because he did not see his shadow.

Groundhog Day started in the hills of Pennsylvania in the small town of Punxsutawney, where there is a population of just under 6,000 people.

Every year thousands gather in the town for the groundhog day festivities.
