Ground Hog day
#5
There is a groundhog in Pennsylvania that predicts the weather. On Feb 2 he comes out of his den and if it is sunny he sees his shadow and gets frightened back into his hole for 6 more weeks. If it is cloudy he stays out and an early spring is to be had.

Not sure when or how it got started, but if a ground hog,(a big fat furry animal that burrows (do a Google for a picture)), see's his shadow early in the morning, we will have 6 more weeks of winter. Silly, I know.

Trevor Noah did a pretty funny bit on the Daily Show, about how weird it is that Americans use a rodent to predict the weather. He says in Africa (where he's from) they use this weird thing called "satellite data".
It doesn't sound funny when I typed it out, but I found it to be quite amusing the way he presented it.
