Happy Groundhog Day!
Every February 2nd, we turn to our favourite furry forecasters to see if winter is sticking around or if spring is on the way. The tradition goes all the way back to old European Candlemas folklore, where people believed an animal’s shadow could predict the weather, and somehow we are still trusting groundhogs! In Canada, that means watching legends like Wiarton Willie, Shubenacadie Sam, Balzac Billy, Fred la Marmotte, Manitoba Merv, Van Island Violet, Okanagan Okie, Oil Springs Ollie, Fenwick Flossie, Middlemiss Mike, Chilly Charlie, Two Rivers Tunnel, and a few other local celebs pop up across the country. So… shadow or no shadow...what’s your guess? 🌨️➡️🌷
We are team spring!
