Today is National Ground Hog Day

National Groundhog Day on February 2nd each year asks one question. Will he see his shadow? will there be six more weeks of winter? The day is celebrated each year in the United States and Canada.

Today is National Groundhog Day.

Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, hosts the annual Groundhog day event. Thousands of people come to the town of Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day for this day of celebration.

The groundhog has a 36% accuracy rate between 1969 and 2016 meaning its not always going to be right.

This years the shadow prediction was at 7 am today and Punxsutawney Phil (the ground hog) did not see his shadow in front of thousands of spectators this morning.

This means the prediction is that spring is coming early.

It feels like it already spring but this leads to one question.

Is the Punxsutawney Phil going to be right this year?
