ESO 3 GROUNDHOG DAY

What is Groundhog Day? Have you heard about it before?

Well I think we should start from the very beginning. This is a groundhog.


Groundhog Day is a traditional North American festival which takes place on 2 February. The largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. People gather at Gobbler's Knob, a wooded knoll just outside the town where a groundhog named Punxsatawney Phil can be found.

According to folklore, the groundhog's behavior will forecast the weather. If the groundhog pops its head out of its burrow, sees its shadow and then goes back in again, six more weeks of winter will follow. If the groundhog does not see its shadow, then it will not be scared to come out of its burrow, which means spring will be just around the corner.

So the next question is: what happened this year? Let's have a look at this video.
