Welcome to CyberKisses's Groundhog Day Page.
The legend of Groundhog Day is based
on an old Scottish couplet:
"If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, there'll be
two winters in the year."
Every February 2, people gather at Gobbler's Knob,
a wooded knoll just outside of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
Residents contend that the groundhog has
never been wrong.
The ceremony in Punxsutawney was held in
secret until 1966, and only Phil's
prediction was revealed to the public.
Since then, Phil's fearless forecast
has been a national media event.
The groundhog comes out of his electrically
heated burrow, looks for his shadow and
utters his prediction to a Groundhog
Club representative in "groundhogese."
The representative then translates the prediction
for the general public.
If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow,
it means six more weeks of winter.
If he does not see his shadow,
it means spring is just around the corner.
Approximately 90% of the time, Phil sees his shadow.
Phil started making predictions in 1887
and has become an American institution.
