Groundhog Day began in the 1400's when legends from Germany and France indicated
that when groundhogs came out of their dens to early, they were frightened by
their shadow and retreated back to their den for 6 weeks. According to
tradition, we should expect 6 more weeks of Winter if the groundhog see's his
shadow. But if it doesn't, expect an early Spring within the next 6 weeks.
Georgia's groundhog, General Beau Lee, resides at the Yellow River Game
Ranch in Lilburn, GA. The National Weather Service has commended him for the
accuracy of his predictions twice. He also has been recognized for his public
service to Americans by 4 Georgia Governors.
Beau did see his shadow this
year so we should wait to see if Winter will continue for the next 6 weeks.
General Beau Lee claims a 94% accuracy and has been the official groundhog at
the Yellow River Game Ranch since 1990. Before Beau, General Robert E. Lee was
the official groundhog. He is now retired.
