IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY!
February 2, 2011

Groundhog's Day is a true American tradition.. The history behind it stretches back to the 1700's in Pennsylvania where the Dutch settlers used  a groundhog as a weather predictor

  

The legend states that if the groundhog comes out of his hole and sees his shadow on Groundhog's day, he will run back in and there will be six more weeks of winter. However, if he does not see his shadow, he will stay out and there will be an early Spring
