Curious fact: In St. Petersburg, Russia, the groundhogs just died shortly before the day this year.

Uh-oh, so did Quebec's Fred la Marmotte. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/fred-la-marmotte-die...

Should I be worried?

Finally, somebody found a good use for the internet. Love the idea. Edit: The only thing I'm missing is some pictures of real groundhogs. > Includes enterprise-grade API for corporate use cases. Lmao, brilliant.

It's good, but I kinda hoped it would be findings from the movie Groundhog Day. :-)

You know, with ever more details, upper bound, lower bounds of days, confidence levels, statistical modelling, comparisons against world events that day and psychological profiles of all participants.

Wait, Groundhog Day is today for real? Or is it like in the T. Hanks movie and every day is Groundhog Day?

Groundhog Day is on Feb 2nd! Depends on your timezone when the site rolls over though.

Weird, when I visited the site it was already Feb 3rd in my time zone (Europe/Oslo), and the local time in my time zone was 6:15 am, but it said that it was Groundhog Day.

When I visited the site again now, a few hours later but still Feb 3rd in my time zone, with the current time being 12:12 pm (middle of the day), now it says instead when the next Groundhog Day is (“364 DAYS UNTIL GROUNDHOG DAY 2024”).

Not sure if it is intended exactly like that in terms of time zones or not.

Regardless, cool site and it was interesting to learn a bit more about Groundhog Day. Thank you :)

Bill Murray movie, but possibly

Interestingly I just watched the German-dubbed version last night and my gf (native German speaker, hence the weird viewing choice) pointed out that Bill Murray actually speaks with Tom Hanks' voice (same dubbing actor).
