Patty Pagoda, a Reading mascot, continues a tradition since 2006, while communities hold sunrise ceremonies around 7:10–7:15 a.m. at Groundhog Day events.
Local predictors choose treats or props, like Elliott selecting a treat bowl at Acorn Acres, staged at 7 a.m. today, illustrating diverse methods.
At Sweet Arrow Lake County Park, Grover the groundhog's prediction at 9 a.m. anchors the park's 20th annual celebration, while organizers invite the public to attend.
Organizations like the York Slumbering Groundhog Lodge uphold local traditions, while last year predictors varied—some called for six more weeks of winter, others for early spring.
