There are a lot of Groundhog Day forecasters who provide winter predictions every Groundhog Day season. Many of them are actual living groundhogs, but many of them are not. We here at Countdown to Groundhog Day decided to put together a list of these forecasters several years ago, and it has grown into the most comprehensive list of Groundhog Day prognosticators available anywhere on (or off) the internet.

We currently have 273 Groundhog Day forecasters in our database, both active and retired/deceased. Click on a name to learn more about each one of these fascinating weather-predicting animals or objects. We are constantly searching for and researching new forecasters, so be sure to check back every so often. If you think we've missed a Groundhog Day forecaster please let us know.
