If you look on the calendar Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012 will be
GROUNDHOG DAY.
It is a day recognized by custom to see if a Groundhog, also know as a Woodchuck, to see if he can predict if there will be an early spring and no more winter, all depending on if he or she sees their shadow.
If they don't see their shadow cast by the sun on the ground then the groundhog stays outside from hibernating during the winter months.
If the groundhog does see their shadow, and becomes scared, then they will return inside to their burrow they have been sleeping in and return to sleep and there will be SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER.
Punxsutawney, PA in the USA is recognized as having the most famous groundhog, named PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL by the townspeople.
His weather forcasting hasn't been too bad over the years to predict an early end to winter and early spring weather or predicting a long winter will continure and more snow!
PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL has his own website on the internet and about his town of Punxsutawney, PA if you care to check it out and learn more.
There are other Groundhogs around the United Staes who challenge PHIL each year, predicting the weather in their area that they live it, and their forecast on Feb. 2 and prediction might be different. So, you'll have to take your pick who is right on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, 2012.
Do any of our forum members have any groundhogs predicting the weather on Feb. 2 this year? If so, tell us about them.
I'll have to check the news in our area. We usually have two predicting forecast Groundhogs for Feb. 2 and I'll have to see if they are "working" this year on Groundhog Day on Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012 and let you know what their predictions are.
One groundhog is a Boy.
The other is a Girl.
They live in two different towns, however.
Let the Weather Predicting Begin!
