It's Groundhog Day, and all over the country, little sleeping balls of fur woke up, crawled out into the light of day, and peered blearily about them to predict the end of winter.
We love this little ritual... After all, if the Groundhog sees his/her shadow, we're in for six more weeks of winter. Or, if it's overcast, we'll be counting on seeing the end of winter in, oh, about a month and half.
Never mind the groundhogs... we sent Dave outside to take a look... and Yes, he saw his shadow! Now, we're not saying he's as accurate as a groundhog. For that, we'd need to check in with the Muskoka Wildlife Centre, and their resident Groundhog, CLOVER.
We prefer these local forecasts from Clover to the ramblings of far flung Punxsutawney Phil or Canada's Wiarton Willie.
But you know, we're willing to gamble on David's shadow, too!
I need six more weeks of winter...I haven't been tobogganing yet! And if I can't have 6 weeks, I'll take a month and a half...almost as good.
