The North American tradition of Groundhog Day has been taking place for over a century. As the Folklore has it, if the groundhog sees its shadow when it emerges from its burrow on Groundhog Day, there will be six more weeks of winter. If the groundhog doesn’t see its shadow, then tradition says spring is on the way.

Let all us Canadians welcome Spring with open arms and hope that the groundhogs’ predictions are correct!

The age-old tradition of having groundhogs foretell the length of winter took place yet again today across Canada. Shubenacadie Sam started things off with a positive prediction –we’re set to have an early spring! Wiarton Willie on the other hand, who just celebrated his 60th anniversary of participating in Groundhog Day, put a damper on plans for warmer temperatures by forecasting six more weeks of winter.

This contradiction shouldn’t cause too much concern, as  Punxsutawney Phil from south of the border in Pennsylvania was on the same page as Sam –spring will arrive sooner than later! Looks like we’re in for tons of blooms and sunny days as we leave snow and chilly temperatures behind.
