**Groundhog day is celebrated on 2 FEB. If the groundhog sees its shadow and crawls back into its burrow, winter will last another six weeks.

**The largest groundhog celebration is in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

**The 1st documented mention of Groundhog Day in America was on 4 FEB 1841.

**Punxsutawney Phil’s predictions are right 39% of the time.

**The average groundhog weights between 12-15 pounds and lives between 5-7 years.

**Groundhogs hibernate.

**Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today. Another 6 weeks of winter weather. If you ask me, that’s a pretty accurate prediction considering there’s another snow storm on the way to the east coast. Stay warm out that way!
