Umm, I believe it's called Gobblers Knob, not gooblers..hahahaha... Not making fun of your spelling error, I just thought it was funny :)
Anyways, Mister C: Apparently MILLIONS care about a groundhog, seeing as that many people tune into the news, internet, and events being held throughout both Canada and the United States to see the groundhogs prognosticate the weather!
And another thing, Punxsutawney Phil is named that for a reason...he lives in Punxsutawney, not Pittsburg.
Now the answer to the question is, that the groundhogs, both Wiarton Willie, and Punxsutawney Phil did not see thier shadow this morning, which means that we will have an early spring. :) What happened at Gobblers Knob is that more than 15,000 revelers milled about in a misty snow waiting for the prediction, as fireworks exploded overhead and the "Pennsylvania Polka" and other music blared in the background.
What is amazing is that Phil has a 100% accuracy rate. What's even more amazing is that this silly but cute spectacle of the long ago less known holiday Imbolc, and Candlemas, has survived for so many centuries! And, it's only celebrated right here in Canada and the United States.
For those that are interested in the pagan & roman tradition of this holiday we now call Groundhog Day, it's in my myspace blog.

Jimmy the Groundhog in Sun Prairie, Wis., saw his shadow today, and predicted six more weeks of winter.
The more famous Punxsutawney Phil, however, did not see his shadow at Punxsutawney, Pa., thus predicting an early spring.
