GROUNDHOG DAY

Groundhog Day, celebrated across the United States and Canada, on February 2, is  a North American tradition. It is based on a belief that on this day (February 2) the groundhog,  comes out of hole after winter hibernation to look for its shadow. If the shadow is seen, it's a sunny day. And the groundhog foretells 'six more weeks of bad weather' and thus a lingering winter. But spring is coming if no shadow is seen because of clouds. The groundhog then behaves accordingly. It goes back into the hole if the weather turns bad, but stays above ground if spring is near.
