Video: Punxsutawney Phil Gets Booed

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. - Punxsutawney Phil has made his prognostication, and he was booed worse than Donovan McNabb at an Eagles' game.

The groundhog made his annual weather forecast on Thursday morning and, much to the chagrin of the masses who gathered at Gobbler's Knob at Punxsutawney, saw his shadow.

Phil was booed heavily since it was very cloudy and he couldn't see his shadow, except for the glare of TV lights.

With this winter being like it's been, six more weeks of it might not be so bad. The common wisdom was that unseasonably warm temperatures and a lack of snow perhaps might put less pressure on Phil.

Organizers said up to 18,000 people were there to witness the furry creature's prognostication just before 7:30 a.m. EST.
