SUNSET, Utah -- Sunset Sam, Utah’s guinea pig version of the weather-predicting groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, predicted an early spring to the delight of onlookers on Saturday.
The prediction, which is based on whether or not Sam's view of the sun is obstructed by clouds as the sun sets, was part of the Sunset City Winter Fest, which also featured an art show and a chili cook-off.
