Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow after emerging from his den in Pennsylvania on Monday morning — signifying six more weeks of wintry weather.

If the world-famous prognosticating groundhog had not seen his shadow, it would've meant spring was near.

The chilly news was greeted with a mix of cheers and boos from the tens of thousands of revelers who braved the negative-1-degree weather at Gobbler's Knob in the small borough of Punxsutawney in Jefferson County.

Pittsburgh local Lisa Gibson, who showed up for her 10th Groundhog Day, was among those rooting for Phil not to see his shadow.

"Oh, man, it just breaks up the doldrums of winter," she said while wearing a lighted hat that resembled the tree stump Phil emerged from shortly after daybreak.

"It's like Halloween and New Year's Eve all wrapped up into one holiday."

"I think it's just fun — folks having a good time," said Rick Siger, who was attending his fourth straight Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney.

"It brings people together at a challenging time. It is a unifying force that showcases the best of Pennsylvania, the best of Punxsutawney, this area." 

The annual folklore ritual dates back more than a century.

As part of the tradition, members of the Inner Circle — recognized by their top hats and tuxedos — gathered around Phil's stump as scores of eager viewers watched.

At daybreak, Phil was woken and spoke to the president of the Inner Circle, Tom Dunkel, in "Groundhogese" — the only person who understands the language because of an ancient acacia wood cane.
