Phil lives in a custom room that’s part Punxsutawney Library. It’s heated the feed him and even made space for his wife Phillis. There is a large viewing window, and the only sunshine Phil sees is when the sun peeks through the window.

I’ve got an eerie feeling it’s going to be a Seahawks blowout.
