About this countdown
This countdown targets Groundhog Day on Tuesday, February 2, 2027, set by the rule: February 2. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Groundhog Day is an observance rather than a public holiday, so offices, banks and schools keep their normal hours. Nobody gets a paid day off for it, though plenty of people mark it anyway.
