Punxsutawney Phil’s best -level fellow team will publish Woodchuck’s weather verdicts when the sun goes up on Sunday, to predict the winter conditions for the next six weeks, or to inform the world of early spring slogans.
Annual consciousness goes back to the western Pennsylvania for more than a century. In the European folklore, the 1993 film of Bill Murray’s 1993 film was transformed into today. Beyond America and that.
Last year, the crowd was a record, and the organizers are increasing their turnout on Sunday.
If the members of the PunxSutawney Groundhog Club declare that Phil did not see his shadows, it is said to be guided in early spring. If he sees it, it is six weeks more winter, but that can be subjective.
Phil predicted a much longer winter than early spring, and concluded that his efforts to track his accuracy were less than half an hour.
Tom Dunkel, chairman of PUNXSUTAWNEY GROUNDHOG CLUB, says there are two types of people traveling with Gobbler’s handle.
Phil delivers his predictions through “Groundhog-ESE” with the help of a special cane that Dunkel inherited as the leader of the club. It doesn’t look like he speaks in English words.
Dunkel said, “He will like wink.
Attendance is free, but it takes $ 5 to about 80 miles (123 km) in the northeast of Pittsburgh, in the middle of a one -mile (1.6 kilometer) village. The need for a lot of buses is the reason why a local school with sports mascots end when the ground hog day falls on weekdays.
Four years ago, a new welcome center opened the door, and the club can work between PHIL and the sophisticated second living room for the family, and can split between Gobbler’s handle and PHIL’s long house in Town Library. The club also installs a large video screen and a more powerful speaker this year to help attendees behind the crowd follow the process.
“This is a holiday that no one is owing,” said AJ Dereume, a handler of Phil’s 15 internal circles. I believe. ”
Phil has a wife, Punxsutawney Phyllis and two dogs born this spring, Shadow and Sunny, but his family does not join the stage for big events. The Groundhog family eats fruits and vegetables, visits Dereume every day, and sees a veterinarian once a year.
The club’s knowledge is Woodchuck like Woodchuck, which Phil published a weather forecast for the last century.
Dunkel said, “There is only one Phil and it is not possible to share. “There is only one like Santa Claus and Easter Rabbit.”
Official and informal GroundHog Day Celebrations is held in many Pennsylvania and Sundays. There were at least 28 ground home day events in the United States and Canada.
