US groundhog Phil predicts six more weeks of winter

Groundhog Staten Island Chuck is seen in his viewing unit, a box with clear plastic sides and fake turf, during a Groundhog Day weather prediction event at the Staten Island Zoo in New York, February 2, 2015. Legend has it that if the groundhog sees his shadow, North America will experience six more weeks of winter and if he does not, spring will come early. Despite the shadows cast by the strong halogen lights pointing at the groundhog, Staten Island Chuck appeared to have a favourable prediction, and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that spring is coming.
