Groundhog is pissed off, with good reason !!!

"The actual reason they come out in February is to mate. By April or May, many groundhogs will have four to six babies, all born with closed eyes and no fur."

Some say the Groundhog Day tradition is rooted in a German superstition that if an animal casts a shadow Feb. 2, the Christian holiday of Candlemas, bad weather is coming.

Others trace Groundhog Day to the ancient Celtic festival Imbolg, the midpoint between the winter solstice and spring equinox.

The Celts believed that if the day was fair, the second part of the winter would be stormy; but if it was cloudy, the rest of the winter would be mild.

and to think that happens a short drive from where i live
