Watch live to see if groundhog sees shadow

To shadow, or not to shadow?

That is the question the town of Punxsutawney, Pa. will be asking Thursday morning, as Punxsutawney Phil will make his annual weather prediction. 

The famed groundhog will rise from his burrow on Groundhog Day to give us his outlook on what we can expect the weather to be in the U.S. weather in the coming weeks, depending on if he sees his shadow.

The rules are simple:

• If Phil sees his shadow, he predicts six more weeks of winter.
• If Phil doesn’t see his shadow, he predicts an early spring.
