Sissy Groundhog

Happy Groundhog Day! I can never remember what it means if the groundhog sees his shadow. However, today I learned if he sees his shadow it scares him, he goes back into the ground and the prediction is we will endure six more weeks of winter.

I was told he is a sissy.

The groundhog in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Phil: sissy.
The groundhog at the Howell Nature Center in Michigan, Woody: not a sissy.

I wonder who ever came up with the idea?
