On Groundhog Day, Different Winter Forecasts From Punxsutawney Phil And Woodstock Willie

CHICAGO (CBS) -- We may be dealing with winter for a while.

At least if you believe what a groundhog has to say. On Wednesday morning, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, meaning six more weeks of winter.

This is the 136th year for the Groundhog Day celebration at Gobbler's Knob in Pennsylvania. But take heart: Woodstock Willie does not agree with Phil. The groundhog from the northwest suburbs said the Chicago area will see an early spring.

 

The Groundhog DIDN'T SEE his shadow! Early spring!! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Groundhog Day this morning!
