1 In North America, February 2nd is dedicated to an animal who believers say can predict how long winter is going to last. We call this Groundhog Day. Phil, the most famous groundhog, lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. He climbs out of his underground home on February 2nd every year to look for his shadow. If the day is sunny and he sees his shadow, it means that there will be six more weeks of cold weather. Since spring is not arriving any time soon, Phil returns to his home and rests some more. If the day is cloudy and Phil cannot see his shadow, it means that spring is just around the corner. Then, Phil stays above ground to find food to fill his empty stomach. |
