Groundhog Day!! February 2, 2010

I vote for an early spring. I am so tired of the cold and having to break up frozen chicken water.

No matter how you look at it, we're going to have 6 more weeks of winter. Old man Winter doesn't want to relinquish his hold on Winter.

I want an early spring. But I voted six more weeks of winter. It's just been one of those winters...

I voted six more weeks of winter. Though I would LOVE to be wrong in this case!

What is Lake Titticaca?

In Canada, it was 1956 before Wiarton Willie became a household name for his early February prognostications. Wiarton is a pretty town of 2,300 on the Bruce Peninsula between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. This being an expansive nation, there are other groundhogs in other jurisdictions. Nova Scotia has Schubenacadie Sam, who's the first in the country to rear his head on Groundhog Day.

Then the tradition makes its way across our time zones, moving on to Wiarton Willie and Gary the Groundhog in Ontario, Brandon Bob in Manitoba and Balzac Billy in Alberta.
