There seems to be a consensus amongst the groundhogs that spring is just around the corner.

With scaled back celebrations due to the pandemic, Canada’s furry prognosticators couldn’t find their shadows this morning.

Wiarton Willie kept his social distance and stayed indoors, leaving it to his humans to toss a fur hat in the air, a tradition dating back over 60 years.

Oil Springs Ollie failed to find his shadow, Shubenacadie Sam emerged from his burrow to cloudy skies in Nova Scotia, and in Quebec, Fred La Marmotte whispered in his handler’s ear, also predicting an early spring.
