Wiarton Willie has seen his shadow, carrying on the tradition of Groundhog Day, predicting an early spring.
The prognostic groundhog, with the help of Mayor Jay Kirkland, did not see his shadow Monday morning, calling for an early spring.
In Quebec, Fred la Marmotte did not see his shadow, also calling for an early spring.
Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam did not go ahead with her typical prediction event due to a forecast that called for another winter storm in her home province.
