How Many Days Until Groundhog Day 2026?

Groundhog Day is a popular North American tradition observed on February 2nd. According to folklore, if the groundhog emerges from its burrow and sees its shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat, predicting six more weeks of winter. If it doesn't see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early.

The most famous groundhog is Punxsutawney Phil from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The celebration in Punxsutawney has been held since 1887 and attracts thousands of visitors annually.

While the weather predictions are made in fun, Groundhog Day has become an important cultural tradition celebrated across the United States and Canada.
