Rodent HolidayChubby ground squirrels The roly-poly rodents you sometimes see munching grass along roads and highways are groundhogs (sometimes called woodchucks). They’re large members of the squirrel family, but unlike many of their arboreal relatives, groundhogs stick to the ground. And they are probably the only rodent that has a holiday named after them!
Groundhog DayEvery February 2, people across the nation watch as folks in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania gather to see if the groundhog emerges and sees its shadow. If so, legend has it that there will be at least six weeks of wintry weather left. If the day is cloudy and the groundhog is shadowless, spring will come early. The groundhog’s supposed aptitude for predicting the weather is based on German folklore that goes back several hundred years. The first official Groundhog Day was in 1886, and since then groundhogs have been successful in forecasting the season only 39% of the time. They may lack meteorological skills, but they’re expert hibernators.
well you know what they say....... now to see if I see my shadow tomorrow as I am officially a prognosticator too. or is that procrastinator??? LOL
