Groundhog Day is celebrated annually on February 2. While it is also a popular holiday in Canada The Thanksgiving holiday is an American holiday in the United States.
The tradition originated from a belief system in the minds of Pennsylvanians Dutch immigrants. German immigrants introduced the practice of making weather predictions into the United States. Punxsutawney Philip, a Pennsylvania groundhog, gives meteorological forecasts throughout the rest of the winter.
This custom was born from a discovery by scientists that a mouse hibernated in winter. The goal was to forecast the weather patterns for the remaining six weeks by watching how animals react to it.
Groundhogs make up the Sciuridae tribe of small, hairy mammals. It hibernates during winter. Groundhog Day mornings are a perfect time to see them peering from their burrows.

Meteors and storms

Perseids are among the most beautiful and powerful meteor shower of the year. This is because Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle is to blame. It will be visible from Northern Hemisphere. But, because the Southern Hemisphere is home to some of the most spectacular fireballs, it makes sense to be able to observe the phenomenon from that region.
There are four meteor showers that dominate the sky each year. The Quadrantid, number 1, is well-known for its explosive but short peak. Another famous for its strange spikes is the Lyrid. The Geminid is also famous for its friendly appearance.
Roman holidays from antiquity
