"2024 Groundhog Predictions: Early Spring or Extended Winter?"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by New York Post

Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog, did not see his shadow, indicating an early spring. Despite his accuracy being around 40% over the past century, loyal fans still gather annually at Gobbler’s Knob for his prediction. The tradition dates back to 1887 and has its origins in European folklore. Other animals, such as a hedgehog in Oregon and an armadillo in Texas, also made weather predictions this year.

Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog, has a 39% accuracy rate in predicting the weather, with a slightly better rate in the past decade. In 2021, his forecast was about half right, and in 2022, he missed the mark again as March turned out to be warmer than average despite his prediction of continued winter.
