Yesterday, February 2, 2020, was not only Super Bowl Sunday (Super Bowl LIV), but also Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day isn't just a 1993 movie starring Bill Murray about a man who is stuck in time repeating the same day over and over again. It's a North American tradition to observe whether or not a groundhog that emerges from its burrow after hibernating through the winter will see its shadow. Legend says that if the groundhog sees its shadow, it'll be scared and go back into its burrow, signaling 6 more weeks of winter. If, however, the groundhog does not see its shadow, it means there will be an early spring.
It'll be best to stick to traditional meteorological weather forecasts... but even they aren't always accurate! Perhaps, in the future, we'll be able to accurately predict the weather 100% of the time, but until then, we may actually be better off just flipping a coin.
