AP Reports : No shadow seen, therefore. . .

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — To the relief of the winter-weary, the world's most famous groundhog is predicting an early spring.

Punxsutawney Phil emerged around dawn on Groundhog Day on Wednesday to make his 125th annual weather forecast in front of thousands who braved muddy, icy conditions. Phil's handlers revealed that Pennsylvania's prophetic rodent was rooting for the Steelers in this Sunday's Super Bowl and that he had not seen his shadow.
Phil's handlers, the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, concoct the forecasts. Several thousand revelers gathered in the pre-dawn hours on a small hill called Gobbler's Knob to hear the prediction.
Before Wednesday, Phil had seen his shadow 98 times and hadn't seen it 15 times since 1887. There are no records for the remaining years, though the group has never failed to issue a forecast.
