A countdown helps most when you split the wait into stages. Break the days left before Groundhog Day into weeks and give each week one task, so nothing is left to the last day.
Switch between units to find the one that fits your task. All of them count to the same Groundhog Day and always agree with each other.
Each year Groundhog Day moves forward by one weekday, or two after a leap year, if it keeps the same date. The ten year table shows the pattern.
