Punxsutawney Phil to text his Groundhog Day prediction

News.com reports that this year that groundhog Punxsutawney Phil will be announcing the end of winter - or not - by text message.

Before February 2, the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club invites everyone to text "Groundhog" to the SMS short-code 247365. When Phil ventures out of his burrow on Gobbler's Knob that morning, text messages will go out broadcasting whether he saw his shadow (six more weeks of winter) or didn't.
