At What Time Does the Groundhog Come out?

In 2019, the 133rd year of the tradition, the groundhog was summoned to come out at 7:25 am on February 2, but did not see its shadow. Fans of Punxsutawney Phil awaited his arrival starting at 6:00 am, thanks to a live stream provided by Visit Pennsylvania.

What time do groundhogs come out on groundhog Day?

The groundhog is set to come out at approximately 7:20 a.m., CBS News reported. Fans can start watching his habitat much earlier, as the livestream starts in the pre-dawn hours.

Is the groundhog always the same?

According to the lore, there is only one Phil, and all other groundhogs are impostors. It is claimed that this one groundhog has lived to make weather prognostications since 1886, sustained by drinks of "groundhog punch" or "elixir of life" administered at the annual Groundhog Picnic in the fall.
