Bill Summary
January 20, 2026 To celebrate the ceremony of the District of Columbia’s famous groundhog weatherman and political prognostician, Potomac Phil, as he delivers his highly anticipated annual forecast on February 2, 2026, and to declare that date “D.C. Groundhog Day.”
AI Summary
This resolution, titled the "D.C. Groundhog Day Recognition Resolution of 2026," declares February 2, 2026, as "D.C. Groundhog Day" to celebrate the District of Columbia's well-known groundhog, Potomac Phil, who is both a weather forecaster and a political predictor. The resolution acknowledges the American folklore tradition of Groundhog Day, where if Potomac Phil emerges and sees his shadow on February 2nd, it signifies six more weeks of winter, and if he doesn't see his shadow due to cloudy weather, it means spring will arrive early. The resolution also highlights that Potomac Phil will share his seasonal forecast with hundreds of people in the Dupont Circle area on that date, and it takes effect immediately.
