Day 2996: “Groundhog found fog. New snows and blue toes. Fine and dandy for Valentine candy. Snow spittin'; if you're not mitten-smitten, you'll be frostbitten! By jing-y feels spring-y."

The Old Farmer's Almanac

Try your hand at a rhyming poem about February. Have fun!

It's Groundhog Day in the U.S.A.
We're looking forward to beautiful flowers
and warm spring showers.
So raise your voices in praise
for longer and brighter days.

Day 4001: The first Groundhog Day was held, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania on February 2nd, 1887. Discuss your knowledge of groundhogs or the history behind Groundhog Day or the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray.

Groundhogs are fat furry rodents of the family Sciuridae and the genus Marmota monax. The most famous groundhog is Punxsutawney Phil, who is apparently descended from a long line of Punxsutawney Phils. Punxsutawney Phil's main talent is weather prediction and his main weakness is fear of shadows. It's this combination that makes him famous across the United States.
