Dr. John Koprowski is set to deliver a free public talk to discuss the history and significance of Groundhog Day, the biology of the groundhog, and our connection to the natural world.
As we are reaching February 2nd once again, we are reminded that whether or not we get to experience more winter or an early spring and it all depends on a rodent and his shadow. At least, that's according to folklore anyway. But what if we end up experiencing what Bill Murray aka Phil Connors did in Cheyenne tomorrow? It will never ever be warm again!
Wednesday, February 2nd is Groundhog Day. And let's all hope that it's not a Bill Murray Groundhog Day situation where we end up repeating the same day over and over again (spoiler alert). More on that later, but first, if the groundhog is smart, there should be no way he's going to attempt to come out to see its shadow in Cheyenne for a few reasons.
