About the countdown to Groundhog Day
The most famous forecast comes from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where the ceremony has been held since 1887.
The tradition has become a widely covered seasonal event.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. The next Groundhog Day falls in ISO week 5 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
