Gefn:
So, six more weeks of winter or no?

Groundhogs Day is February 2.

The real question concerning groundhogs popping up is .223 Remington or .243 Winchester?

Applewood:
I feel sorry for the Punxsutawney Groundhog.  Dragged out of his nice warm burrow into the cold to have bright lights shined on him -- can't be a pleasant experience.  But it's a tradition that brings in visitors from all over and is a major boost to this sleepy town's economy.

Funny thing is that whether he sees his shadow or not, his prediction is correct.  Sees his shadow -- 6 more weeks of winter.  But technically, by the calendar spring does come within 6 weeks of Groundhog Day.  So he's correct.  Doesn't see his shadow -- spring is just around the corner.  A prediction sufficiently vague enough to be correct no matter what.

Yeah, it's silly, but the townspeople have fun with it. so what harm is there -- well, except to annoy the groundhog.
