Groundhog Day is a holiday with an interesting story. Legend has it that when a groundhog emerges from its hole on February 2, it can predict whether the winter has ended or will last for six more weeks. If the groundhog doesn't see its shadow, spring will be arriving soon. The star of the celebration is Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog that lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The small town hosts the largest Groundhog Day celebration in the world, with over 40,000 anxious onlookers in attendance. Phil may be famous, but he is certainly not a genius at weather prediction. He has only been right about 40 percent of the time.
