Groundhog Day - USA
by Stacey Eley, Leslie Dyson
2 February
Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2. If a groundhog comes out of its hole and see his shadow it means there will be six more weeks of winter. When a groundhog sees his shadow he gets scared and goes back into his hole. This is not a scientific fact. Groundhog Day is a legend. Many people made it up a long time ago. This legend came from Germany, Austria and England where the people predicted the length of winter by hibernating animals.
