Tired of winter the weather? Then you better hope a few world famous rodents don’t see their shadow tomorrow.
February 2nd we will welcome the return of Wiarton Willie and Punxsutawney Phil, who legend has it, will determine whether we should bundle up for six more weeks of winter or prepare for an early spring.
Groundhog Day is rooted in the Christian holiday Candlemas, the midway point between the winter solstice and spring equinox, with the first official Groundhog Day being held February 2nd, 1887, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
Groundhog Day is not a federal holiday, so banks, mail service, schools, grocery stores, and libraries will be open.
