Groundhog Day: An Exciting Prelude to Spring
February 2 marks the celebration of Groundhog Day, a tradition based on weather lore and origins as early as the fifth century. It is believed that when the groundhog (woodchuck) comes out of his home and sees his shadow then winter will be extended for a few more weeks. However, if the groundhog does not see his shadow then spring is believed to be just around the corner.
