Groundhog’s Day is a holiday celebrated by many Americans every Feb. 2.

There are many famous groundhogs, the two most popular being Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil and Georgia’s General Beauregard Lee.

On Thursday, Phil predicted six more weeks of winter in Pennsylvania after seeing his shadow. On the other hand, Gen. Lee did not see his shadow in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

Groundhog’s Day has been a national tradition for 130 years. The holiday was adopted in 1887. Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania often sees crowds of 40,000 or more on Groundhog Day. The groundhogs’ predictions are often 75 to 90 percent correct according to Groundhog’s Day organizers.
