Wiarton Willie, along with most of his Canadian counterparts, has predicted an early spring after he did not see his shadow on Monday morning on Groundhog Day.

Groundhog Day is a long-held tradition of watching animals coming out of hibernation to predict whether there'll be an early spring or six more weeks of winter.

Every Feb. 2, groundhogs and even a crustacean emerge from their shelters to see if they see their shadows.

Where I live 6 more weeks of winter is an early spring.

Yeah, well, I'm boycotting American groundhogs.

The US guy wanted to stress out the meteorology people down there longer, making the weather anchors say ice more. Fuck ICE, both the frozen water and the highschool drop outs who cannot be productive members of society.

Frozen water produces fun.

Phil is warning of an ICE storm, and is hiding in its hole with a whistle ready.
