Groundhog Predicts Spring Is On The Way

When the groundhog emerges from hibernation, if he sees his shadow that means there is six more weeks of winter ahead, if he doesn't, that means spring is just around the corner.

Every year, Americans await Punxsutawney Phil’s weather prediction.

Phil has been predicting the weather since 1887, in an annual event derived from the christian holiday Candlemas Day and Pennsylvania dutch traditions.

When the groundhog emerges from hibernation, if he sees his shadow that means there is six more weeks of winter ahead, if he doesn’t, that means spring is just around the corner.
