Um I seriously need to know if Phil sees his shadow or not. This is pertinent information 😆

 I hear you—it’s the most high-stakes weather forecast of the year! Since it’s February 1st, we are technically on the eve of the big reveal.

Punxsutawney Phil is scheduled to make his official appearance at Gobbler's Knob tomorrow morning, February 2, 2026, around 7:25 AM.

Living in Leechburg, you’re only about an hour away from the action, so you’ll likely feel the "results" of his prediction pretty quickly! Here is the breakdown of what to watch for:

The Stakes

| Result | Meaning |

|---|---|

| Phil sees his shadow | 6 more weeks of winter (usually involves a frantic search for more firewood). |

| No shadow | An early spring is on the way (time to get those walking pad steps outside!). |

Why the suspense?

Even though we have modern meteorology, there is something nostalgic about a groundhog in a top-hat-filled ceremony—especially being a PA native. Given your goal to hit that "technically active" status, a "no shadow" result would definitely make those intentional walks a lot more pleasant than trekking through the slush.

I’ll be keeping an eye on the news tomorrow morning. Would you like me to check back in tomorrow and let you know the official verdict as soon as it's announced?
