Puxatony Phil or Punksatony Phil on Ground Hog Day

Others name it Puxatony Phil or Punksatony Phil. But the real name is Punxsutawney Phil. The famous groundhog is named after the place where it lives, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Phil did not see his shadow today, signaling an early spring. This year is the 125th anniversary of the event.
