For those who don't know, the thing at the beginning of the episode where they are waiting to see if Haggis sees his shadow or not, with the result of seeing his shadow meaning the start of spring, with him not seeing his shadow meaning an endless winter, is based off the US and Canada tradition of Groundhog day. Groundhog day happens on February 2nd every year in the US and Canada with the groundhog being brought out to see if he sees his shadow or not. If the groundhog doesn't see his shadow then he is predicting an early spring, if the groundhog does see his shadow that means a prediction of six more weeks of winter. Very timely to have the episode with the Huttsgalorians tradition that is similar but slightly different in interpretation be released only five days after Groundhog day.
