Every part of Canada is different. The closest to me said early spring. A block ( province) over said six more weeks of winter. ( meanwhile we had a terrible drive on 18 inches of snow for over an hour today) But I heard this on the radio today on the drive to town.. What did the Groundhog from France say? "Where is my Chateau??" It made me laugh.
Ground hogs day has been a tradition since the 1800 in the Northeast . The Northeast “Puxley” the traditional ground hog used ? Said ..since he saw his shadow , that means 6 more weeks of winter. https://www.wtae.com/article/punxsutawney-phil-groundhog-day-2023-prediction/42742537 The northwest Oregon ground hog is a squirrel representing our Groundhog Day. ’Miss Pixie’ she is busy in my garden . As she peaked out on her roof of her fancy abode today she said she saw her shadow today and that means we have another 6 weeks of Winter. Bah hum bug. Well thanks a lot , Miss Pixie”! win.
Our Wiarton Willie says we are getting an early spring this year. Funny thing though, this morning it is feeling like -35°C out there and that is the coldest day of the winter so far!
The state of Georgia has "Beauregard Lee" a rodent that predicts the length of winter. Ya gotta love Georgia!
