Well, according to legend that when groundhogs come out of their burrows, in February 2nd and if they see their shadow, they get scared and goes back into their hole meaning that their would be 6 more weeks of winter. But when its cloudy and it does not see its shadow it does not get frightened meaning that there will be a mild spring. But the facts about people who passed on those legends are your teachers. But people who first said it is a little unknown
The groundhog comes out on Groundhog's Day, and if it sees it's shadow, it goes back in and we have 3 more weeks of winter. If it doesn't see it's shadow, winter is over.
The groundhog it's self is real but the shadow thing is a legend.
Most people don't truly rely on the groundhog. It's just a fun tradition.
a legend is like a myth. It has been passed from sometimes generation to generation or from people. It usally about a treasure.
either way it is 6 weeks. If the groundhog sees his shadow it is 6 more weeks of winter and if he does not it is 6 weeks til summer. It is really just a legend.
legend is a story that has been passed down throughout history
No, they did not. Neither did the North Carolina's official groundhog, Sir Walter Wally, see his shadow on Groundhog Day 2016.
Many people really enjoy groundhog, it is almost a juicier beef with a slight rodent taste to it.
Do you mean "Groundhog Day?" If so, Groundhog Day, February 2nd, is a popular tradition in the United States. It is also a legend that traverses centuries, its origins clouded in the mists of time with ethnic cultures and animals awakening on specific dates.
Winter is just as long to a groundhog as to us, but supposedly, groundhogs can predict the season changes. According to the legend, if the groundhog on leaving its burrow does not see his shadow, it will leave the burrow , which it means that winter will soon end. If, however, it "sees his shadow" and is frightened, it will go back into the Burrow, meaning that winter will last six more weeks.
A legend.
It's a tradition.
