What is the meaning of Groundhog Day?
Groundhog Day refers to a tradition that is celebrated every 2nd of February in North America and Canada. The holiday originated from a Pennsylvania Dutch superstition. A mythical groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil emerges from its burrow on this day. How it “sees” the day and its behavior as it goes out of its burrow determine the upcoming season.
The superstition itself seems to have its roots in German-speaking Pennsylvania Dutch where a badger, rather than a groundhog is the forecasting animal.
What happens if the groundhog sees his shadow?
According to the myth, if a groundhog sees its shadow because of clear, sunny weather, it will go back to its den. As it does so, it’s believed that winter will carry on for 6 more weeks.
What if the groundhog does not see his shadow?
If the forecasting animal does not see its shadow due to an overcast day, spring will arrive early according to the tradition.
Most of us anticipate the coming of spring and warmer weather after a long cold winter. As the sky clears, leaves turn green, and wild animals come out of their burrows, people feel a season of hope, renewal, and a fresh start. I hope your business flourishes this Groundhog Day and beyond.
