Groundhog Day Word Search
This Groundhog Day word search has forty words for February 2: Punxsutawney Phil and his shadow, the burrow on Gobblers Knob, the Inner Circle in tuxedo and top hat, the six-week forecast, and Bill Murray caught in a time loop.
The date comes from Candlemas, a Christian feast on February 2, and an old European saying that a sunny Candlemas means more winter to come. German farmers watched a badger or a hedgehog for the sign. Settlers in Pennsylvania used the animal they found there, the groundhog, and the first official ceremony at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney was held in 1887.
A groundhog, also called a woodchuck or a whistle pig, is a large marmot, part of the squirrel family. It is a true hibernator: through the winter its body temperature drops close to that of the burrow around it and its heart slows to a few beats a minute. The 1993 film Groundhog Day starred Bill Murray as a TV weatherman named Phil who wakes up to the same February 2 again and again.
