Groundhog Day

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 - 12:00

Groundhog Day marks the middle of winter, that is, the day halfway between the winter solstice and  vernal equinox. It is the modern equivalent of the ancient festival of Imbolc (im-ohlk) when the traditional lighting of candles anticipated the return of warmer weather.

Prognostications on exactly when, of course, abound.
