Groundhogs, thanks to their magical shadow powers, have a special day dedicated to them in the U.S. and Canada called Groundhog Day. If, after leaving their burrow, the groundhog sees its shadow there will be six more weeks of Winter and everyone in this particular groundhogs region gets upset and angry with the g'hog (chill out people). If it doesn't see its shadow...Spring is near and people start breaking out the shorts. This is very serious business folks. Here's a link to a list of famous groundhogs. Maybe you can get trading cards of your favorite. Punxsutawny Phil seems to be the star of the U.S. Groundhog Shadow Spotting Team, but I'll always be a fan of Alberta's Balzac Billy.
