The 2nd of Febraury in the United States and Canada is known as Groundhog Day! It's an unofficial holiday. According to lore, on this day the groundhog emerges from his burrow to see if he leaves a shadow. If the day is cloudy and the groundhog doesn't see his shadow, then that means winter will soon end. If, on the other hand, the day is sunny and he sees his shadow, the groundhog will retreat into his burrow for another 6 weeks of winter!
