Wiarton Willie has made his 66th annual prediction today.
And he did not see his shadow, so that means we should expect an early spring!!!
The annual Groundhog Day celebration was held virtually this year due to the ongoing pandemic.
However, there seems to be some disagreement among the world’s weather-predicting rodents, since Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam, Quebec’s Fred La Marmotte, and Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania have all forecasted six more weeks of winter.
