I read an article on Groundhound Day and how the groundhogs projected another 6 weeks of winter. This method really doesn't make any sense to me because if he sees his shadow that means it is sunny out. Usually sun is incorporated with spring and summer and not winter. If he does not see his shadow that means it is cloudy out which is more incorporated with winter than spring or summer. I think we should base the length of winter off of scientific facts and data rather than hibernated animals. It is however a tradition and people around the world celbrate this day and wait for the groundhogs reaction.
