In an exciting announcement on Wednesday, the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club revealed that Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog known for predicting the arrival of spring&nbsp;and his wife, Phyllis, have welcomed two new additions to their family.

"We have Babies!! The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club is very excited to announce that Phil and Phyllis have given birth to two healthy baby Groundhogs! The babies are currently in with mom and dad at the zoo that is located at the Punxsutawney Memorial Library, and can be viewed thru the viewing window," the club posted on its social media handle.

On February 2nd each year, Phil’s handlers don suits and top hats in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, in a ceremony that reveals whether there will be six more weeks of winter. Phil is called out from his stump at dawn and, if he sees his own shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If he does not, then spring will come early.
