NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – It’s Groundhog Day!

Will we see six more weeks of winter? And what is the origin of the tradition of the groundhog/shadow tradition?

Jeremy Goodman, Director of the Turtle Back Zoo in New Jersey, stopped by the studio to discuss those things. He also introduced us to Groundhog Day Salad.
