Groundhog Day

An old superstition says: If it is sunny on February 2, there will be six more weeks of winter. It it is cloudy, then there will be an early spring.

This superstition came to the U.S. with German farmers. They said: "If a groundhog sees his shadow on February 2, spring will be late. If he sees no shadow, there will be an early spring." That's why February 2 is called Groundhog Day.
