There

The Southern
hemisphere usually enjoy midsummer weather during February.
The second day of February is often referred to as GROUND HOG s
DAY.
The old stories told are that the ground hog comes out of it s

he sees his shadow, then he goes back to sleep and there will be more
winter time.
If he doesn t, then the spring time will begin.
