About Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day has roots in the European tradition of Candlemas and German folklore about hedgehogs predicting the weather. German settlers in Pennsylvania adapted it to the native groundhog. According to legend, if the groundhog sees its shadow there will be six more weeks of winter; if not, spring will come early. Punxsutawney Phil is the most famous forecaster.
