Day?
Every year on February 2nd
in Punxsutawney (Pennsylvania), a
groundhog tells us how many more
weeks of winter there will be.

there will be six more weeks of winter
weather. If he does not see his
shadow, there will be an early spring.

shadow, so there will be six more
weeks of winter weather.

these guys in the top hats?" Well,
these gentlemen are known as the
Groundhog Club's Inner Circle. They're
