It’s that time of year again: On Tuesday morning, before he takes his morning coffee and reads the Daily Groundhog News, Punxsutawney Phil will peek out of his den to try to see his shadow, as the human world watches with bated breath. As legend has it, if he sees his shadow, we’re in for six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, that means spring is already on its way. Watch live as the rodent does the wildlife equivalent of checking the weather on his iPhone. (Hopefully nothing will go wrong.)
