Potomac Phil

About Phil

Potomac Phil is a taxidermied groundhog who makes his weather proclamation in front of D.C.’s Dupont Circle fountain. He is “Washington’s most famous marmot” — a “humble, unflinching prognosticator,” who delights in corn cobs. While other groundhog prognosticators are fluent in Groundhogese, Phil prefers “non-verbal communication”.
