Basically it's just a tradition where a groundhog pops out of his hole, if he sees his shadow and runs back in it's more winter, if he doesn't and stays out it's an early spring

Ok....how did it start? And also ways the verdict, is the groundhog a new prospect fo the weather at 10pm? What state is it again , or is it just a town?

Here, we don't refer to our penesia as something to turn or pull on. A gobbler is a turkey. A knob is a deformity on a tree. You guys will have perverted the slang after the independence of the American colonies I suppose. Pluck Yew.
