Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil is held up by handler Bill Deeley at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania February 2, 2003. The chubby rodent Phil, saw his shadow during the annual Groundhog Day ceremony on Sunday, signaling six more weeks of winter in North America.The ceremony, which dates back to 1887, stems from an ancient European superstition that winter will last another six weeks if a burrowing animal like a groundhog or a hedgehog sees its shadow on Candlemas Day, which falls on Feb. 2. No shadow means an early spring. REUTERS/Jason Cohn JC/AA
