Scientists questioned the famous US ground hog weather forecast.

Groundhog Day is a major event at Gobbler’s knob in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania.
Scientists are questioning the reliability of the most famous forecasts in the United States. This is a clear trick of predicting how long winter will last, forming a sacred tradition in the United States.
PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL, famous for its 1993 movie “Groundhog Day”, will attract thousands of spectators every February 2 to Pennsylvania towns.
The US State’s tradition, which predicts the seasons using large fingertips, is the Pennsylvanian belief that when the ground hog left the hole and saw the shadow, the interior and winter would last six weeks. Go back.
However, a professional forecast warns that his prediction is likely to be away from the mark before the appearance of Phil this Sunday.
The American National Marine Automatic Bureau (NOAA) concludes that only 35 % of Phil predictions are accurate.
Staten Island Chuck, a ground hog based in New York, is on the ranking of 85 % accuracy in his prediction.
Phil and his predecessor, also called Phil, have been predicted since 1887.
