Groundhogs Day

Groundhog Day 2021, coinciding with Candlemas, is a holiday that focuses on the folklore idea of the groundhog (also known as woodchucks) coming out of its home to “predict” the weather. Legend has it that on this morning, if a groundhog can see its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If it cannot see its shadow, spring is on the way. Groundhog Day 2021 is observed on February 2 in many states throughout the United States of America.
