Groundhog Day is here again and you can live stream it

Groundhog Day is here again and you can live stream it

Today is the 130th anniversary of Groundhog Day, a day where in Pennsylvania tradition we find out if Winter is extended or if Spring will arrive early by monitoring the activity of a cute Groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil.

If you're the type of person to get excited about whether to ditch your sweaters and winter coat early, you can watch the live stream here, which starts at 6 AM Eastern/ 3AM Western/ 11AM GMT.

The tradition, dating back to the 1800's, originated from a celebration of Candlemas and a rather fetching poetic tradition to find out if it'd be colder for longer.

Groundhog Day was brought into the public's wider awareness with the release of the 1993 film of the same name starring Bill Murray.
