Dover Doug, a Groundhog mascot, predicts the weather in Dover Community Park in Dover, Pennsylvania, each Groundhog Day season.
Over 100 people usually show up for Dover's prediction.
Prior to the introduction of the mascot, going back to the 1980s, two Dover Township employees, Marc Strausbaugh and Don Keener, used to take a stuffed animal named Dover Doug outside and held a weather prediction ceremony.
