  Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney  -  De Dag van de Bosmarmot
Groundhog Day is een beroemd traditioneel festival op 2 februari in de Verenigde Staten en Canada. Het is een speciale dag tussen de Winterzonnewende en de Lenteequinox.
In de traditionele weerpraatjes gaat het verhaal dat als een bosmarmot die uit zijn winterslapp komt op deze dag zijn schaduw niet kan zien, omdat er teveel bewolking is, de winter spoedig zal eindigen. Als de bosmarmot daarentegen zijn schaduw wel kan zien omdat het helder weer is, dan zal hij bang gemaakt worden en terug naar zijn gat gaan en de lente nog zes of meer weken op zich laten wachten.
