Today is Groundhog Day!
This day is observed on February 2 in the United States and Canada. This day celebrates a myth from the Pennsylvania Dutch that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, then winter will continue on for six more weeks. If not, an early spring will come.
In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, a little ceremony is held every year where a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil predicts how the season will go. This year, he predicted an early spring.
