Only in North America would weather be predicted by a groundhog. February 2 or groundhog day is just a fun event. Here in Ontario it is Wiarton Willie who by the way saw his shadow so there will be 6 more weeks of winter. Shubenacadie Sam in Nova Scotia did not! As well as Punzsutawney Phil in the USA saw his shadow-so 2/3 means 6 more weeks of winter. It takes us to mid-March. Actually Spring does not start until March 21 so it would be unusual not to have more winter. The predication for our area is to have seasonally cold and snowy weather for February. Great! After my workout this morning shovelling the driveway, it is good to know that any extra calories will be burnt off! The smart groundhog just stays sleeping until Spring! So what is the prediction from the little guys in Manitoba and Alberta? Haven't you already had enough winter?
