🐿️ Groundhog Day Trivia • Groundhog Day is celebrated every year on February 2. • The tradition comes from a Pennsylvania German custom tied to Candlemas. • Punxsutawney Phil is the most famous groundhog and has been predicting the weather since 1887. • Legend says if the groundhog sees his shadow, we’ll have 6 more weeks of winter—no shadow means an early spring. • Groundhogs are also called woodchucks—and yes, they can chuck wood (about 35 pounds a day!). • Phil’s predictions are only accurate about 40% of the time, but the tradition lives on. • Groundhog Day became even more popular after the 1993 movie Groundhog Day.
