Feb. 2 marks Groundhog Day, when traditionally a Pennsylvania groundhog known as Punxsutawney Phil makes an appearance above ground, near the cozy tree stump he calls home. Legend has it that if he sees his shadow, North America is in for six more weeks of winter weather.
The event traces roots back to legends in Germany, which indicate that if a rodent sees its shadow on February 2nd, winter continues.
