On
February 2, the Groundhog awakens from it's
long winter sleep, called hibernation, and comes
out of it's home, called a den. If it sees its
shadow it will go back in, and we will have
another six weeks of winter. If it does not
see its shadow it will remain awake and active,
and we will have an early spring. The most famous
Groundhog Day Celebrations are in Punxsutawney,
Pennsylvania. This is also where the film Groundhog
Day takes place.

Yes,
there is another groundhog, a great and powerful
marmot who lives up here in the wild wilderness
lands half-way between the equator and the north
pole, and who probably knows more about the
weather than anyone else around. Copyright restrictions
forbid us from telling his name or showing any
stuff about him, but we can still lead you through
the marvels of that mysterious myth we call
Groundhog Day.
