- Groundhog Day 土拨鼠节
- When the groundhog sees its shadow: a popular tradition celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day sees a shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks, and if it does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early.

What they say:
WELCOME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ONE AND ALL, TO "THE LATE SHOW."
I'M YOUR HOST STEPHEN COLBERT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) IT IS 32 DAYS IN, DAY 32 OF THE TRUMP SHUTDOWN.
I'M GETTING PREPARED TO NEVER HAVE A GOVERNMENT AGAIN.
I'M PREPPING MYSELF FOR ABSOLUTELY NO GOVERNMENT AT ALL.
I'M LICKING RAW CHICKEN TO BUILD UP AN IMMUNITY,
AND I'M PRACTICING TO BE MY OWN T.S.A
>> Jon: OH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH.
I'M PUTTING A LOT OF TIME INTO THE PAT-DOWN.
I'M HIDING SOMETHING SOMEWHERE.
I'M GOING TO FIND IT.
LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT BE INCHING CLOSER TO A COMPROMISE.
THERE'S THE POSSIBILITY OF A COMPROMISE, RIGHT-- MAYBE.
WHO KNOWS?
BECAUSE THIS THURSDAY, THE SENATE WILL VOTE ON TWO BILLS THAT COULD END THE SHUTDOWN:
ONE BACKED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT INCLUDES HIS BORDER WALL,
AND ONE BACKED BY DEMOCRATS THAT WOULD SIMPLY EXTEND FUNDING FOR SHUTTERED AGENCIES THROUGH FEBRUARY 8.
YES, JUST TILL EARLY FEBRUARY.
ALTHOUGH, IF THE GROUNDHOG SEES HIS SHADOW, WE GET SIX MORE WEEKS OF DEMOCRACY.
