Groundhog Day is here and it is time to know if there will be six more weeks of winter or if we can expect spring’s early arrival.
The annual festival observed on February 2 in North America and Canada traces its roots back to a Pennsylvania Dutch superstition.
The myth says if the groundhog emerging from its hole sees its shadow due to clear weather and retreats to its den, we will experience six more weeks of winter.

However, if he doesn’t see his shadow, spring will arrive soon.
Every year, people gather in large crowds at Punxsutawney in western Pennsylvania for The Groundhog Day ceremony centering on a semi-mythical groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil.
However, if you can’t attend the ceremony in person, you can still celebrate the occasion with these hilarious memes from Twitter.
