Happy Groundhog Day 2010
Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2 in the U.S. and Canada. According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, it will supposedly retreat to its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks.
This year’s results are unanimous:
The Ontario Wiarton Willie confirmed that there will be six more weeks of winter.
Wiarton Willie’s cousin in Nova Scotia Shubenacadie Sam, also saw his shadow this morning, while Punxsutawney Phil of Pennsylvania did the same.
Winter isn’t over yet, people.
