Punxsutawney Phil is a "psychic" groundhog, known for his weather predictions. Last year on Groundhog Day, he predicted six more weeks of winter.

Florida woman arrested for assaulting boyfriend with a frozen pork chop
A woman in Brooksville, Florida, USA got into a fight with her boyfriend recently. Jennifer Brassard, 48, cut his eyebrow after chucking a frozen pork chop at him.
