Groundhog Day 2013


I have been curious about the beginnings of Groundhog Day. Included with the photo above are web sites that describe the beginnings and 2013 happenings of Groundhog Day. I thought that the groundhog would always see his shadow because of all the lights blazing down on him but I guess if it is cloudy at the time Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his hibernation place on the mourning of Feb. 2nd he predicts an early spring. If it is sunny he forecasts 6 more weeks of  winter. So it actually has nothing to do with the flood lights etc.
