Groundhog day

Today's blog topic is about how Monday was groundhog day, and what does this mean, and if I believe in it. Well personally I don't believe that if a groundhog comes out of his house, and is scared of his shadow, it means anything at all, he might juts be scared of something else. I heard that it has to do with the weather conditions as the groundhog comes out. Like if it's sunny, then the shadow is seen, and the groundhog "foretells" six more weeks of bad weather. If it's a spring day, and there are clouds blocking the suns rays, then there is no visible shadow. The groundhog acts accordingly, and goes back inside if the weather is bad, and stays up if it is spring time. This annual tradition of the United States and Canada, came into being during the late 1800's. To answer the final question of the blog, no I don't believe in groundhog day, because there might just be a random sunny day, but I don't think it foretells another 6 weeks of weather.
