There was no crowd gathering in Punxsutawney this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but there are still plenty of people trying to find out if Phil saw his shadow or not.
The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club was kind enough to share a livestream of their whole Groundhog Day event, including a pre-recorded preshow that began airing at 6:30 a.m. The live event itself began at 7:15 a.m.

(Reuters) - Pennsylvania s most famous groundhog emerged from his tree stump in a light snowfall on Tuesday to predict another six weeks of winter, just as the northeastern United States got blanketed with its second day of snow.
After a year-long pandemic in which every day has seemed like the previous one, not unlike the 1993 movie Groundhog Day , Punxsutawney Phil emerged at dawn, saw his shadow and decided to wait it out for another six weeks, his handlers said.
