THE GROUNDHOG DAY - EL DÍA DE LA MARMOTA
The Groundhog Day: A day celebrated on February 2. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks.
El Día de la Marmota es un método folclórico usado por los granjeros, especialmente de Estados Unidos y Canadá, para predecir el fin del invierno, basados en el comportamiento del animal cuando sale de hibernar el 2 de febrero.
Según la creencia, si la marmota al salir de su madriguera no ve su sombra, por ser un día nublado, dejará la madriguera, lo cual significa que el invierno terminará pronto. Si por el contrario, por ser un día soleado, la marmota "ve su sombra" y se mete de nuevo en su madriguera, significa que el invierno durará seis semanas más.
