Groundhog Day is a popular tradition in the United States that is celebrated on February 2nd. This is the day where the Groundhog comes out of its hole after a long winter sleep to look for its shadow. According to the folklore, if it is cloudy when the groundhog emerges from its burrow, then spring will come early. If it is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow, go back into its burrow and the winter weather will persist for six more weeks.
Our class predicted that the Groundhog will see its shadow and the winter weather will stay for six more weeks. After we predicted, we watched the video of Punxsutawney Phil, the Groundhog, reveal its prediction! Our class predicted correctly! The Groundhog did see its shadow. Sorry for those who live in places where "real" winter weather exists. Luckily for us in Southern California, we enjoy our winter weather just as much as our spring weather. :)
