Whats Going On?: Groundhog Day, celebrated on February 2nd, is a popular North American tradition rooted in folklore. According to the custom, a groundhog emerges from its burrow to predict the weather. If it sees its shadow, it is said to retreat back into the burrow, signaling six more weeks of winter. If no shadow is seen, it means an early spring is on the way.
