I never think about Groundhog Day, nor notice it when it goes by. I don't think they've ever made much of a deal of it in New Hampshire, even for schoolchildren who like holidays and animals. It's never an open question here that there is going to be six more weeks of winter. Feb 2 is halfway through the season, but that is purely a mathematical situation. You can get bright warm days at the end of March, and occasionally in mid-March. However, you can also get snow in May.
I have to figure fourth-graders in Arizona don't care much about Punxutawney Phil either. Irrelevant rodent.
