Punxsutawney Phil has announced to his "Inner Circle", a group of handlers who speak Groundhogese, that he has indeed seen his shadow and there will be six more weeks of winter throughout the United States.

Despite Punxsutawney Phil's extended age, he's chosen some very modern approaches in announcing his weather predictions for 2010.
