Today is Groundhog Day!
The first official Groundhog Day celebration took place on February 2, 1887, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. How accurate are groundhogs? Studies by the National Climatic Data Center and the Canadian Weather Service have yielded a success rate of around 50 percent for Punxsutawney Phil. While most of us here in West are hoping for no shadow, we should probably leave the weather forecasts to the Weather Service.
