資Information: Groundhog Day 土撥鼠日
自從1887年以來，一代又一代的土撥鼠一直擔負著預報時令的任務，美國和加拿大許多城市和村莊都會慶祝 。
The celebration, which began as a Pennsylvania German custom in southeastern and central Pennsylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries, has its origins in ancient European weather lore, wherein a badger or sacred bear is the prognosticator as opposed to a groundhog.It also bears similarities to the Pagan festival of Imbolc, the seasonal turning point of the Celtic calendar, which is celebrated on February 1 and also involves weather prognosticationand to St. Swithun’s Day in July.
