The Monroe County Sheriff's Office has issued an arrest warrant for the groundhog in the tiny town most referenced each February 2. As he has done many times in the past, Phil this year saw his shadow (or at least Punxsutawney Phil officials reported it that way), which, according to lore, is a prediction of six more weeks of winter.

According to Groundhog Day records that go back to 1887, Phil has predicted an early spring only 17 times. (Of course, he has not been 100 percent accurate with his predictions, either way.) As his name suggests, Phil lives in Punxsutawney, a town in Jefferson County, in western Pennsylvania.

That extended winter certainly occurred in Pennsylvania, but then the winter weather continued; and that's what has the sheriff's office angry. Further to the officers' point, more winter weather is predicted for the next several days.

The Wanted poster has Phil's picture and his stats. Phil is wanted for deception, screams the poster, which is on the sheriff's office wall, alongside similar posters advertising human targets of law enforcement.

Phil has already eluded a similar effort in 2015, when he was targeted by a Merrimack, N.H., police department.
