Happy Groundhog Day!

As well as being a movie from the nineties, Groundhog Day is a US tradition. There is a belief that if the groundhog will sees its shadow on February 2 it will be frightened by it and will return to its burrow, indicating that there will be six more weeks of winter. If it does not see its shadow, then spring is on the way!

Some states have an official groundhog. In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, there is Punxsutawney Phil who lives at Gobbler’s Knob.According to CNN, this year Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow signifying an early spring!
