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
