evan<p>While out for <a href="https://social.coop/tags/IceCreamForBreakfastDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IceCreamForBreakfastDay</span></a>, we ran into a parent from our wider social circle. For small talk, he asked if I thought the <a href="https://social.coop/tags/groundhog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>groundhog</span></a> would get it right this year. </p><p>I don't think he expected me to have such passionate opinions on the subject. 😅</p><p>(See NOAA website linked here:<br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/113931156320456300" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/11393115</span><span class="invisible">6320456300</span></a>)</p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/GroundhogsDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GroundhogsDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/puxatawnyPhil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>puxatawnyPhil</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/forecasting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forecasting</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/wx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wx</span></a></p>
Cat<p>As an American Pagan, I celebrate my Imbolc holiday on February 2nd. And while most pagans make offerings to the goddess Brigid on Imbolc, I associate it with the Cailleach. Why? Because of Groundhog's Day. </p><p>This early American colonizer custom has roots in Scottish folklore. The story goes that the Cailleach, the goddess who controls the winter, leaves her home on this day to collect firewood for the rest of the season. If the weather is fair and sunny, she has time to collect a lot of wood, so the winter will last longer. If the weather is poor, she won't collect as much, so the winter will be shorter.</p><p>Eventually the story changed to being a snake coming out of its nest, because the christians commonly replaced powerful goddesses with snake imagery. When the tale was brought to the colonies, the seasons didn't quite match up with snakes emerging, so another burrowing animal was chosen, the groundhog.</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Imbolc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imbolc</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/GroundhogsDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GroundhogsDay</span></a></p>
