Groundhog Day?

Why would you dedicate an entire day to a groundhog?  Supposedly, Puxatawny Phil comes out sees his shadow (or not) and goes back in for the rest of winter.  No matter what, Spring is still 6 weeks away.  I saw the groundhog on TV this morning and he didn’t look too happy to be out of his burrow.  Cannot blame him.   It is icy, and cold around here and we’re supposed to get at least 3 more inches of snow tomorrow.   I’m really looking forward to spring — except for one thing.  At that point the ground hogs really will come out of their burrows and start eating my garden and the battle for the plants and veggies will begin all over again.
