Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day!!

According to folklore, if the groundhog leaves its burrow today after failing to see its shadow, it signifies that winter will soon end. On the other hand, if it sees its shadow, it will go back into his home and winter will continue for another 6 weeks. As much as I prefer the cold over the heat, I really hope he pops his head out, and keeps it out.
