How the date works
Groundhog Day is fixed on February 2 every year. Only the weekday changes.
The best-known celebration is in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil is said to predict the weather. If he sees his shadow, the tradition says six more weeks of winter; if not, an early spring.
It is not a public holiday. Banks, schools and offices are open as normal.
February 2 is also Candlemas in the Christian calendar, which is the older tradition that the groundhog custom grew from.
