And the verdict is in… the groundhog saw his shadow, which means winter is sticking around a little longer ❄️🥶

Today is Groundhog Day! 🌨️☀️

This long-standing tradition has us watching to see if the groundhog spots their shadow. A shadow means winter sticks around a bit longer, while no shadow hints at an early spring. What’s your prediction? 🤔
