"Groundhog Day 2024: Predictions and Weather Animals"

Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, predicting above-average temperatures for the next six weeks; however, his accuracy has been questioned, with data showing he has been correct only 30% of the time over the last 10 years. Other groundhogs across the country, such as Octoraro Orphie and Staten Island Chuck, also make weather predictions, with varying degrees of accuracy. The tradition of Groundhog Day dates back to German folklore and has gained popularity since the release of the film "Groundhog Day" in 1993.
