Ground Hog Day is Feb. 2 and on that day, according to folklore, if it's cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow, the spring season will arrive early, some time before the vernal equinox. If it is sunny, however, and the groundhog sees its shadow, it will retreat back into its den, and winter will continue for six more weeks...
"That's right, woodchuck chuckers! Its (almost) Groundhog Day!" The question on everyone's "chapped" lips: Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow?
New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio gave the crowd in Staten Island quite a scare the other day when he decided he wanted to "try" and show off the groundhog Staten Island Chuck.
