Wouldn't you think it should be the other way around..sunshine/early spring?
...and if this rodent has such control over our weather why doesn't he do something about global warming? ; - )

The Germans believed that if a hibernating animal cast a shadow Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter would last another six weeks. If no shadow was seen, legend said spring would come early.

It's just a silly tradition. It's not an early spring in the sense of the calendar. It means that warm weather will arrive early in the year.

It really doesn't mean anything. About 6 weeks till spring either way. It just all depends on how you say it. If you say 6 more weeks till spring! Or six more weeks of winter! Same thing either way. They just like to make this a big silly tradition. And, I'm afraid it's not going to stop. About 6 more weeks though.

It's a silly rat. None of this matters at all. Further, global warming is not a true human cause, but a natural development that can't and won't be stopped despite what the corrupt UN is trying to lie to the public about.

The whole groundhog thing is pop cultural nonsense.
Do you know the groundhog's accuracy? 50%
It's pure bunk. I guess that's why the news loves to show it every year...today the mainstream media is nothing but bunk.
