The groundhogs have spoken:
Punxsutawney Phil (Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania): Early Spring
General Beauregard Lee (Atlanta, Georgia): 6 More Weeks of Winter
Wiarton Willie – (Wiarton, Ontario, Canada): Early Spring
Sir Walter Wally – (Raleigh, North Carolina): 6 more Weeks of Winter
Jimmy – (Wisconsin): Early Spring
For what it’s worth, local (southern Indiana) substitute groundcat Wednesday saw her shadow that morning, portending 6 more weeks of winter. But she’s an indoor cat, so what does she care?
I have a special talent for losing my gloves during especially cold days. I’m on my third pair this winter–so I’m putting my bet on the hedgehogs. 🙂
