How many days till Groundhog Day?

Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2 in the US and Canada. On this holiday, a groundhog (woodchuck, a rodent (marmot) that can grow up to 50 centimeters long) is awakened from its hibernation. When he next sees his own shadow, he disappears back into his cave to continue his hibernation. The winter then lasts another six weeks, because: for as the sun shines on Candlemas Day, so far will the snow swirl until May.

By the way, no connection between a groundhog seeing its shadow and the upcoming arrival time of spring-like weather has been found in real life.
