Superstition among Pennsylvanians Dutch people led to the festival. The custom of forecasting weather was brought to America through German immigrants. Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog from Pennsylvania is a meteorological forecaster for the rest of the winter.
The custom got its start when scientists discovered an animal that was hibernating in winter. The initial plan was to predict six weeks of the seasons by observing how animals responded to conditions.
