About this Dataset

Groundhog Predictions

Overview

Happy Groundhog Day! In this dataset, we're exploring Groundhog Day Predictions from groundhog-day.com!
See if you can find a better way to present the annual data than their table of predictions by year!
For anyone not familiar with the Groundhog Day tradition, if the groundhog sees its shadow and goes back into its burrow, that is a prediction of six more weeks of winter.
Otherwise, spring will come early.
