Spring is coming and just what the northern part of the United States wanted to hear with the cold weather they have been experiencing.
According to tradition Punxsutawney Phil, the ground hog, located in Pennsylvania was recorded as not seeing his shadow this morning, February 2, 2019. The second day of February is the day set aside for a groundhog to make the prediction on if there will be six more weeks of bad weather or an early spring. Now different results can happen across the United States but the official result is the one that comes from Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania.
The groundhog has been making his prediction since the 1800’s. At 7:35 Eastern standard time, the groundhog will come out of his burrow on Gobbler’s Knob and make an appearance in front of thousand of followers to predict the next six weeks of weather. If the groundhog sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of bad weather, and if the groundhog does not see his shadow it will only be six weeks to spring.
Can this groundhog really predict what the weather will do? Mostly likely not but there is a lot of fun and energy in the day’s activities.
