Here are 10 interesting facts about Groundhog Day: Origins in Europe – Groundhog Day comes from the German tradition of Candlemas Day, where a hedgehog or badger was used to predict the weather. When German settlers arrived in Pennsylvania, they switched to groundhogs. Punxsutawney Phil is the Star – The most famous groundhog is Punxsutawney Phil, who makes his weather prediction in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania every February 2nd. Shadow Determines the Weather – According to tradition, if Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t see his shadow, spring will arrive early. Phil’s "Elixir of Life" – The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club claims that Phil has been making predictions since 1887 and stays alive thanks to a secret "elixir of life." Accuracy is Questionable – Phil’s predictions have been recorded for over 100 years, but he has an accuracy rate of around 39%—meaning he’s wrong more often than he’s right! There Are Many Other Groundhogs – Several other states and cities have their own weather-predicting groundhogs, such as Staten Island Chuck (New York) and Wiarton Willie (Canada). The Event is a Huge Festival – Every year, thousands of people gather in Punxsutawney before sunrise to see Phil’s prediction, making it a major tourist event. Popularized by Hollywood – The 1993 movie "Groundhog Day" starring Bill Murray made the holiday even more famous, with the idea of reliving the same day over and over. Groundhogs are True Hibernators – Unlike Phil, real groundhogs hibernate from late fall to early spring, surviving the cold months by living off their fat reserves. Phil Has His Own Burrow – Phil lives in a climate-controlled burrow at the Punxsutawney Library, where he is cared for year-round when not making his big annual prediction.
