Groundhog Day has been a tradition every year
in America and Canada since 1886. Tradition
states that every year on February 2 a groundhog
will predict whether Spring will come early, or if we
will have to endure six more weeks of Winter. If
the groundhog comes out of his burrow and stays
above ground, Spring will come on time as predict
ed, but if the groundhog sees his shadow and is
scared back into the ground, we will have six more
weeks of Winter and bad weather. This holiday’s or
igins go back as far as the Roman Empire. Soldiers
in the Roman Legion would make the same pre
diction with a similar animal, the hedgehog. If the
hedgehog cast a shadow, then what the Romans
called “The Second Winter” would start.
The most famous of the weather-predicting
groundhogs lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania,
and goes by the name Punxsutawney Phil. His
home, or burrow, in Pennsylvania is called Gob
bler’s Knob. Phil was featured in the popular 1993
movie, Groundhog Day. Other famous groundhogs
are General Beauregard Lee in Atlanta, Georgia;
Balzac Billy, in Balzac in Alberta, Canada; and Jim
my the Groundhog in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
