2nd of February. USA, : Marmot's day
It is said, that this day is celebrated by some american farmers as a tradition.
They want to predict the end of the Winter.
The behaviour or the acts of this Little animal, will say us when the Winter is finishing.
I have a problem. We are in February, obviously is Winter, but it looks like if we were in Spring, or Autum. I love cold, but this year Winter, at least in my country, is very strange. Not cold. Not rains, Not floods ( good news), not snow ( not very good news for people that live of snow ( snow resorts, hotels in the mountains ....), warm temperaturas .....
Probably the american marmot will say us if we are at the end of the Winter or we are next to the Winter ... Who knows ???? ....
........ Only the marmot ;)

(1) We call the animal a "groundhog" and the day "Groundhog Day". I don't know exactly what a marmot is.
Thak you Matt.
DeleteHere in Spain, in the news journalists say: Dia de la Marmota. It's for this reason that I looked for the picture that I uploaded on the blog. That animal is a marmot. I think marmot is not the same that a Grounding. ;)
