    Sick of the cold? Well you'd better get buddy-buddy with a groundhog quick. Groundhog Day is upon us. It's a day of reckoning in which an adorable, squat animal predicts if we suffer another six weeks of winter or not. To help you get a better idea of what to expect, we peeked into the holes of a few of our groundhog friends for answers. Here is what we found. 

    PROMISES PROMISES

    YOU MUST BE THIS TALL

    Complex meteorological reports? No big deal for the groundhog. But ask him to climb a wall, and you will be here for a while.
