Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day 2026 falls on a Monday, February 2, 2026 (always occurs on February 2). On this day, townsfolk in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, gather in Gobbler’s Knob to watch as an unsuspecting furry marmot is plucked from his burrow to predict the weather for the rest of the winter. But anyone who bought a copy of the Farmers’ Almanac has known what’s in store for the rest of the winter since August!

• If Phil does see his shadow (meaning the Sun is shining) on Groundhog Day, winter will not end early, and we’ll have another 6 weeks of it.
• If Phil doesn’t see his shadow (cloudy) we’ll have an early spring.
