CENTERVILLE —
Every Thursday the Daily Iowegian will publish an Editorial Question of the Week on the Opinion page.
This week the Iowegian wants readers to think about Groundhog Day, Feb. 2.
Groundhog Phil will leave his burrow at 7:20 a.m. Feb. 2 at Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, Penn. He will observe the weather conditions and look for his shadow. He will then make his prediction for the remainder of winter. Groundhog Day is observed on Feb. 2 in both the United States and Canada. Traditionally, if a groundhog emerges from its hole on Groundhog Day, then winter will soon end. If, however, a groundhog retreats back into its hole on Groundhog Day, then winter will continue for another six weeks. The largest Groundhog Day celebration takes place each year in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
So, the question this week is, “Will groundhog Phil emerge from its hole on Groundhog Day thus ending winter or will Phil retreat back into its hole to continue winter for another six weeks?”
