Weather predictions

On Groundhog's Day they say to watch for a groundhog to come up out of its hole.

In Germany it is a badger who comes out of its burrow on Feb. 2.

If the day is sunny and the animal sees its shadow, it goes back into its hole and there will be six more weeks of winter. If it is cloudy the animal will stay out and Spring will come early.

Socks is pretending to be the groundhog.

You can see that she does see her shadow.


She wanted to come right back inside.



And sure enough, today we have more Winter!

The wind blew the snow so hard that it scared the deer.

And we can't see our driveway again.

Do you think we'll have six more weeks of this?
