GOBBLER'S KNOB, Pennsylvania — So, are we going to have six more weeks of winter or will there be an early spring?

Today, we may have an answer if you believe in the folklore surrounding Groundhog Day.

Legend has it that if the groundhog sees his shadow when it emerges from its burrow today, we'll have six more weeks of winter.

If he doesn't see its shadow, spring will arrive soon.

Live coverage of Groundhog Day events at Gobbler’s Knob will start on the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club’s website at 5:30 a.m. today. The live show and Phil’s prediction will start streaming at 6:15 a.m. CT.

The stream will also be carried via the Groundhog Club’sFacebook page.
