Hmmm will we find out if there is lots more winter….or not…???According to Pennsylvania Dutch superstition..it began…. when i looked it up on google I found that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees it’s shadow, it will retreat to its den and winter will go on for six more weeks…if not spring will arrive early…On the east coast in the U.S. where it began they are having a predicted early spring….Now in Canada….There is Wiarton Willie, Shubenacadie Sam and Fred la marmotte….dating from 1956…the results are all split of course so noone is wrong lol….an extra vote from Punxsutawney Phill ..to say it will be an early spring…..over there…..hmmm…Violet is the Vancouver island marmot…woohoo we have our own!!! She is two for two …the last two years since she began…tougher to read…but they have a system…..hmmm wellll it says on the news that she did see her shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter…..UGH!!…I think I prefer the Canada wide prediction of early spring….we can only hope!!!
