What Is Groundhog Day?
This holiday dates back to the late 1800s and centers around a famous groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil. Our favorite weather-forecasting fuzzball! According to tradition, if Phil sees his shadow, we’re in for six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t—a happy spring is on its way.
Whether you believe the prediction or not, Groundhog Day has become a lighthearted moment to break up winter and connect with friends, family, coworkers, or clients.
