Some may think that February 2nd is the time to celebrate GroundHog Day. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will persist for six more weeks.
February 2nd is also the 2nd Day of Valentines. Inspired by the cute, soft and fuzzy groundhog, it is the day to love all things cute, soft and fuzzy.
