Why Groundhog Day Celebrated on 2nd February Every Year?

Groundhog Day is a holiday that is celebrated on February 2nd each year. On this day, people look to see if a groundhog (also known as a woodchuck) emerges from its burrow and sees its shadow. If the groundhog sees its shadow, it is said to predict six more weeks of winter weather. If the groundhog does not see its shadow, it is said to predict an early spring. The exact origin of Groundhog Day is unclear, but it has been a popular tradition in North America for many years.
