Ridgewood NJ, Groundhog Day or Ground-Hog Day,is a popular tradition celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2.It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog (Deitsch: Grundsau, Grunddax, Dax) emerging from its burrow on this day sees a shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks, and if he does not, due to cloudiness, spring season will arrive early.
