Sunday, February 2 is ground hog day! Bill Malay and Andy McDawell are not just the title of the 1993 blockbuster movie.
Every February, thousands of people are gathering in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, and seeing the ground hog called Phil.
When Punxsutawney Phil leaves his nest and he sees his shadow, it traditionally means six weeks of winter. But if he’s not, it’s a sign of early spring.
The 138 -year -old tradition, Punxsutawney Phil and how often he and how often he should know:
When is the ground hog day? Is the ground hog day always February 2?
Yes, the day of the ground hog always falls on February 2nd. This year, Ground Hog Day will be held on Sunday -February 2, 2025.
“Every February 2, thousands of crowds gather in Gobraznob in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, waiting for a special forecast from a ground hog named Phil,” says NOAA’s website.
“According to the legend, if a 20 -pound ground hog appears and see his shadow, the United States can expect more winter weather.”
No, Phil did not see the day of Shadow Ground Hog in 2024. For the first time in the first spring since 2020, we predicted the 21st time in the recorded history.
“Before 2024, the ground hog saw his shadow 107 times and did not see his shadow 20 times,” USA Today reported in 2024 (February 2, 2024).
“In the late 1800s, there was a few years when his prediction was not recorded, and 1943 was the only year he did not appear.”
Spring arrives at different times in various states, so it is difficult to accurately identify how accurate the Phil is last year. Florida alone has a difference between one month and two months when a warm climate comes, depending on where you are in the state.
According to NOAA, in the spring of 2024, when we arrived in where you live, the spring of 2024 was one of the warmest spring in the United States.
Is Phil an accurate ground hog?
It is fun to pretend to be a 138 -year -old ground hog that can predict the appearance of the season, but he is mostly wrong.
According to Live Science, Phil is only accurate for less than 40 %.
“From 1969, the overall accuracy rate of Phil is about 36 %,” says Live Science. “But if he does not remove the shadow, the prognosis of the ground hog is slightly excellent.”
Who is the oldest ground hog?
Punxsutawney PHIL is the oldest ground hog on the Earth, 138, according to Legend and the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, which was first recorded in 1886.
“The clubs say that special meals will return the most famous ground hog in Pennsylvania,” said Ellie Times News in 2021.
“The 15 members inside the club, 15 members are in charge of protecting and permanently protecting the legend of the Grate Weather prediction, and giving him a” ground hog punch “every year to make him immortal. I claim that it is. “
The ground hog usually lives on average for two to three years, without keeping them alive to protect the magical ground hog punch, but can live on average for average for two to three years, but can live up to six years. The ground hog can live more than twice as a breeding (except for the magical elixir for up to 14 years).
Is there a new PUNXSUTAWNEY Philharmonic every year?
Imagining a wild moment is not true, and ground hog punch does not actually keep the same creatures youthful. And remember that other ground hogs based on less weather tend to live until 14 years. Various ground hog prophets that let us know about the imminent spring.
