Groundhog Day is observed annually on February 2. Groundhog Day is celebrated every year in Canada on February 2.
The idea for this celebration came out of a belief in superstition in the minds of Pennsylvanians speaking Dutch. But Americans inherited the custom of making predictions about weather through German immigrants. PunxsutawneyPhil, a Pennsylvania groundhog, makes forecasts for meteorological conditions throughout the winter.
When researchers discovered that mice hibernate during winter, they set the foundation for this custom. The initial idea was to forecast six weeks of each season by studying how animals reacted to the conditions.
Groundhogs are part of the Sciuridae group of hairy mammals. It hibernates in winter. Groundhog Day is a common day when they can be seen peering out from their burrows.
