Why do Americans rely on a groundhog to tell them what season it is?

Well, I'm not exactly sure, but I do have another question for you. Why is Groundhog's Day backwards? If Punxy Phil sees his shadow it means that there's gonna be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, it means that we're gonna have a nice long spring. You'd think that if he saw his shadow then gonna be sunlight, right? Wrong. The answer? Well it's simple. You see, cold winter air can't carry that much humidity so when spring rolls around there's gonna be rain because all the cold air is going away and humidity is coming back into the air. So when Punxy Phil doesn't see his shadow, you know that Spring is coming to town. Americans really do not rely on a groundhog anymore it is just something that is a tradition. We mostly use radars and such to tell us the seasons not animals
