Happy 137th official Groundhog Day! Even if you haven't seen the famous Bill Murray movie, you have likely heard about the legend that accompanies this very special date. At this fateful time when February has barely even begun, Pennsylvanians (and many other people besides) wait with bated breath to see whether the groundhog emerges from its burrow or not. If he comes out to say hi, that's another six weeks of winter; if not, an early spring.

As climate change continues to wreak havoc on the planet, perhaps the mystical predictions of the groundhog seem like a quaint tradition. However, it hasn't stopped the spectacle or that pesky groundhog. It's more than worth celebrating with a few different memes that are all about this practice that marks the many changes between winter and spring. Whatever news Punxsutawney Phil might bring us today, the sun will continue to set later in the next few months.
