Donate Your Car To Make A Difference This Groundhog Day
Weather forecasters have already predicted a long, cold and snowy winter, but if you aren’t the type to believe everything you hear, you might be waiting to see what the groundhog does Sunday, Feb. 2. According to folklore, if the groundhog leaves its burrow on Feb. 2 and doesn’t see its shadow, spring will begin early. If the groundhog sees its shadow, it will rush back into its burrow and there will be six more weeks of winter.
People have been looking for the groundhog’s shadow annually for more than 150 years. The celebration began in Pennsylvania and has captivated audiences throughout the United States. Still, the largest Groundhog Day celebration takes place in Punxsutawney, Penn., where Punxsutawney Phil decides the fate of winter in the town. The city celebrates with food, music, dancing and festivals – along with celebratory speeches and skits.
The official first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere won’t come until almost seven weeks after Groundhog Day, regardless of whether or not Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow. But, that won’t stop people from looking to Phil to see whether or not they can take out their short sleeve t-shirts and shorts for the upcoming warmer weather.
