Here is what to know about Groundhog Day Updated: Tags: The ever famous groundhog on his big day! www.groundhog.org I love Groundhog Day! I know it’s silly to some, but we do know that the groundhog really exists (unlike some of our favorites). Like any good forecaster, Punxsutawney Phil takes great pride in telling us what the future will bring. In case you forgot, if Phil sees his shadow then obviously it’s a sunny, clear day and we get six more weeks of winter. If Phil doesn’t see his shadow, look for an early spring.
