Punxsutawney Phil snacks on a granola bar while perched on one of his handlers, John Griffiths. (Punxsutawney Groundhog Club)Punxsutawney Phil is legendary. After all, the 20-pound groundhog has made famous forecasts on February 2, Groundhog Day, for decades. That morning, the Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, resident is lifted from a stump at Gobbler’s Knob, the ceremony site two miles from town. He and a 3-year-old female groundhog named Phyllis live in “Phil’s Burrow.” Attached to the Punxsutawney Memorial Library, the indoor structure is built to resemble a natural habitat.
