    Q. What is the history of Groundhog Day and how accurate has this prediction been in the past? With all of the hype around the Super Bowl, many of us had forgotten about Groundhog Day this past Sunday. With the recent accumulations of snow it should come with no surprise that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and we are in store for another six weeks of winter!
