#GroundhogDay

Punxsutawney Phil's accuracy rate is about 39%. Professional sports coaches and managers are frequently fired for having a better win percentage than that, and yet Phil still has his job.

Why does he get so much attention? Isn't he just famous for being famous? Let's focus on things that matter instead of a fame whore who, when we get down to it, isn't that different from the Kardashians.

What is #GroundhogDay and why have we looked to these large hibernating rodents for meteorological advice at #GobblersKnob in #Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania every February 2nd since 1887?

#February 2, 1887
#OTD The first #Groundhog Day was celebrated in #GobblersKnob, PA.

Today the mother of all groundhog celebrations is held in #Punxsutawney w/ the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil as the star attraction. For spring 2023, Phil forecasts 6 more weeks of #Winter to enjoy.

In 1678, #Naturalist John Ray wrote a popular #Poem for this day:

If #Candlemas day be fair & bright
Winter will have another flight.

If Candlemas day has showers & rain
Winter is gone & will not come again.

It's GROUNDHOG Day
