History of Groundhog Twenty-four hour period
Groundhog Mean solar day originates from an ancient celebration of the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox—the day right in the middle of astronomical winter. According to superstition, sunny skies that day signify a stormy and cold second one-half of winter while cloudy skies point the arrival of warm weather.
The trail of Phil's history leads dorsum to Clymer H. Freas, urban center editor of the Punxsutawney Spirit newspaper. Inspired by a group of local groundhog hunters—whom he would dub the Punxsutawney Groundhog Social club—Freas alleged Phil as America'southward official forecasting groundhog in 1887. As he connected to embellish the groundhog'south story yr subsequently yr, other newspapers picked information technology upward, and soon anybody looked to Punxsutawney Phil for the prediction of when spring would return to the country.

Groundhog Twenty-four hour period History (from groundhog.org):
European Roots
(Adapted from "Groundhog Day: 1886 to 1992" by Bill Anderson)
Groundhog Day, February second, is a popular tradition in the United States. It is also a legend that traverses centuries, its origins clouded in the mists of fourth dimension with ethnic cultures and animals awakening on specific dates. Myths such as this tie our nowadays to the distant past when nature did, indeed, influence our lives. Information technology is the day that the Groundhog comes out of his hole later a long winter sleep to look for his shadow.
If he sees it, he regards it as an omen of six more weeks of bad conditions and returns to his pigsty.
If the day is cloudy and, hence, shadowless, he takes it equally a sign of bound and stays above ground.
The groundhog tradition stems from like beliefs associated with Candlemas Day and the days of early Christians in Europe, and for centuries the custom was to take the clergy anoint candles and distribute them to the people. Even then, information technology marked a milestone in the wintertime and the weather that day was important.
According to an old English song:
If Candlemas be fair and bright,
Come, Winter, take some other flying;
If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,
Go Winter, and come not again.
According to an sometime Scotch couplet:
If Candlemas Solar day is bright and clear,
There'll be twa (two) winters in the year.
Another variation of the Scottish rhyme:
If Candlemas twenty-four hour period be dry and fair,
The half o' winter to come and mair,
If Candlemas day be wet and foul,
The one-half of winter's gone at Yule.
The Roman legions, during the conquest of the northern country, supposedly brought this tradition to the Teutons, or Germans, who picked it up and concluded that if the sun made an advent on Candlemas Twenty-four hour period, an fauna, the hedgehog, would cast a shadow, thus predicting six more than weeks of bad conditions, which they interpolated equally the length of the "Second Winter."
Pennsylvania'south earliest settlers were Germans and they establish groundhogs to in profusion in many parts of the state. They determined that the groundhog, resembling the European hedgehog, was a most intelligent and sensible creature and therefore decided that if the sun did appear on February 2nd, so wise an brute as the groundhog would meet its shadow and hurry dorsum into its underground home for some other six weeks of winter.
The Germans recited:
For equally the sun shines on Candlemas Day,
Then far will the snow swirl until the May.
This passage may be the ane about closely represented by the commencement Punxsutawney Groundhog Day observances because there were references to the length of shadows in early Groundhog Mean solar day predictions.
Another February second belief, used by American 19th century farmers, was:
Groundhog Twenty-four hours – One-half your hay.
New England farmers knew that we were not close to the end of winter, no matter how cloudy February 2d was. Indeed, Feb 2nd is often the heart of winter. If the farmer didn't have half his hay remaining, at that place may have been lean times for the cows before spring and fresh grass arrived.
The aboriginal Candlemas legend and similar belief go on to be recognized annually on February 2nd due to the efforts of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.

"Today is groundhog 24-hour interval, and up to the time of going to press the beast has not seen his shadow."
