Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day is a fun American tradition celebrated every year on February 2nd.
It’s based on a folklore belief that a groundhog (a small burrowing animal, also called a woodchuck) can predict the weather for the coming weeks.
Here’s how it works:
On the morning of February 2nd, people gather around a famous groundhog (like Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania).
If the groundhog comes out of its burrow and sees its shadow, it means six more weeks of winter.
If it does not see its shadow, it means spring will come early.
The day has become both a cultural and humorous event with festivals, speeches, and even media coverage.
It celebrates the hope for spring and the fun of old-fashioned weather prediction.
