Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring — too bad his track record is terrible

Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow in Pennsylvania on Saturday, making a 2019 Groundhog Day prediction of an early spring.

The prediction was confirmed by a second groundhog in New York, Staten Island Chuck. This year's forecast comes as the Midwest finally warms up following a week of extreme cold and California braces for a major weekend storm that could bring flash floods and landslides as well as up to 10 feet of snow at high altitudes in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Unfortunately, Phil is only correct about 40 percent of the time, meaning his predictions manage to be less accurate than a random coin flip. Watch his 2019 prediction below. Bonnie Kristian
