Fun on the Web Feb 2, 2018 Groundhogs Day

Who saw their shadow? That will be the question most of the day after sunrise. Groundhogs Day is always a day when those of us in the north look forward to finding out if we are having early spring or six more weeks of winter.

Here is video on 20 different opinions

For over 60 years Wisconsin has had their own Groundhog, Jimmy. BTW he is right in his prediction about 80% of the time. Not sure I will be out there having the breakfast buffet but it might be fun. (Yes, in Wisconsin its always about the food.) BTW Jimmy said early six more weeks of winter along with most of the others. I get my weather from Jimmy....boo, hiss! https://www.cityofsunprairie.com/840/Groundhog-Day

Was it Wiarton Willie in Ontario who saw it? In 62 years this has become a full on festival. Watch the video here: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/groundhog-day-2018-the-weather-network-live-wiarton-ontario-willy-early-spring-six-more-weeks-of-winter/94835

Are you a big fan of Punxsutawney Phil? He has had about 39 percent accuracy ever since 1886.  http://www.groundhog.org/

Buckeye Chuck is one of two groundhogs in Ohio known for predicting the arrival of spring. A native of Marion, Ohio, Chuck began predicting the arrival of Spring in the 1970s. Although he doesn't have his own website, Wikipedia says he is the Official State Groundhog. https://wmrn.iheart.com/featured/local-news-wmrn/content/2018-02-02-buckeye-chuck-make-his-weather-prediction/
