Groundhogs send mixed predictions this Groundhog Day

It's interesting, however, when VR is used as the sole medium for something as big as a sequel to, say, the comedy hit, Groundhog Day, which is exactly what's happening.

"Since 1988, the groundhog was "right" 13 times and "wrong" 15 times", the publication reported.

PASADENA - Two parents who lost daughters in last year's Parkland, Fla., school shooting are calling for their local newspaper to win the Pulitzer Prize, saying the South Florida Sun Sentinel has stayed on the story to demand accountability long after the national media left. It's a tradition with deeper roots than you might have expected. Since there were so many groundhogs in the area, they began to use them instead of the European hedgehogs. Once they came to America, the hedgehog was traded for a groundhog, History.com reports.

The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club website refers to the area as a "quintessential Pennsylvania small town" which is "surrounded by natural beauty and resources".

"Every February 2nd, we look forward to celebrating this beloved Pennsylvania tradition with the rest of the world", said Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf in a statement.

Punxsutawney Phil and his top hat-wearing comrades revealed their weather predictions to the public Saturday morning at sunrise, although the group decides on Phil's forecast ahead of time on a tiny hill called Gobbler's Knob, located in western Pennsylvania 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. In addition to the main event, visitors can participate in a number of activities including a food tour, snowshoeing, and wine tastings, as well as several kid-specific crafts and contests.

The President of the Inner Circle, the only person allegedly able to understand groundhogese, then translates Phil's message, and the Vice President will read it out to the crowds on Gobbler's Knob.

And of course, there's always the Bill Murray classic move "Groundhog Day" if you need a refresher course.
