Groundhog Day is a popular tradition celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2nd. It centers around a groundhog, specifically Punxsutawney Phil, who is said to predict the weather for the coming weeks. If Phil sees his shadow, it indicates six more weeks of winter; if not, an early spring is expected. The event takes place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where thousands gather to witness the groundhog's prediction. This quirky celebration has become a cultural phenomenon, inspiring movies, songs, and various festivities, making it a fun and lighthearted way to mark the midpoint of winter.
