Groundhog Day: February 2
Groundhog Day is NOT a public holiday in the United States and Canada.
In the vein of strange holidays and their traditions, the United States and Canada honor an odd burrowing rodent, proclaiming its amazing ability to forecast the coming of favorable spring weather. This day is known as Groundhog Day, and it’s celebrated on February 2 every year. It is said that if the groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, winter-like conditions will persist for another six weeks.
