The first Groundhog Day was celebrated in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania on 2 February 1887. At the time just a small group of men, known as The Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, watched. Today when Punxsutawny Phil looks for his shadow on Gobbler's Knob, he does so to a crowd of nearly 30,000 people. Since 1887, Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow 108 times (as of 2023) predicting a long winter. He has only ever predicted 20 early springs. According to meterologists, that makes this groundhog's weather predictions accurate about 39% of the time.
