The lore says Punxsutawney Phil, but not his wife, is immortal

Some really dark stuff in the official Punxsutawney Phil FAQ: He is an immortal because he sips the "elixir of life" every summer, but his "wife" Phyllis "doesn’t receive the Elixir of Life so she will not live forever like Phil." https://t.co/dmCfmQckqz pic.twitter.com/9U6h0LUJne

Wikipedia and more trivia

Not sure what this predicts but Quebec’s groundhog Fred la Marmotte has died.

It was somewhat of a surprise - they had a whole event leading up to his prediction only for his death to be announced. pic.twitter.com/u9XSNgse3Z
