This list will go through all the places where Groundhog Day is celebrated with their respective mascots
Every Feb. 2, the legendary Punxsutawney Phil is put to the test. The furry creature either emerges from its burrow and sees its shadow – indicating winter will drag on for another six weeks – or he doesn’t see his shadow, indicating spring will arrive early.
This Groundhog Day, the Phil did not see his shadow, signifying that in 2024 spring will supposedly be on its way to release us from the shackles of a dreary winter.
Since 1887, this highly unusual and quirky holiday tradition has been a staple in North American superstitions, predicting the seasons . . . even though the groundhog may be off sometimes. Let’s be honest, the data says that Punxsutawney Phil has only ever been accurate 30% of the time over the last 10 years.
