Question: what time does groundhog day start?
Answer: What time does Punxsutawney Phil come out? Punxsutawney Phil always comes out around 7:20 a.m. on Feb. 2. When he emerges from his stump he looks for his shadow, then has a conversation in Groundhogese with the president of the Inner Circle of the Groundhog Club who announces Phil's prognostication, often in rhyme.
