What is Ground Hog day and how did it get started?

Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated in United States and Canada on February 2. In weather lore, if a groundhog, also known as a woodchuck, marmot, or ground squirrel, emerges from its burrow on this day and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon end. If on the other hand, it is sunny and the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for 6 more weeks.[1] Candlemas is usually the same day, and has similar beliefs about the coming weather. Since the release in 1993 of the film of the same name, Groundhog Day, the phrase is sometimes used in English to mean "the same thing over and over again" particularly in reference to unpleasant repeating cycles.

Does the groundhog really see his shadow?

No, the point of the Groundhog Day is to see if there will be a longer winter.

If the Groundhog "sees" his shadow, then there will be a longer winter.

If the Groundhog doesn't "see" his shadow, then the winter for that year will be over.

Personally, I think the Groundhog Day is very biased because what they do is take a groundhog and hold him up against lights so everyone may see.

Well, if there are many of bright lights, his shadow will definitely be there won't it?
