PROGNOSTICATING CRITTERS

Happy Groundhog Day, everybody!

Ontario's own Albino Groundhog, Wierton Willy predicts promises a prompt spring.

However, the fortunate forecast is not just for overjoyed Ontarians. This year there appears to be a consecutive consensus for warmer weather throughout Eastern and Central Canada (plus Pennsylvania), confirmed by Willy's critter cousins: Manitoba Merv, Shubenacadie Sam, of the Nova Scotian Shubenacadies and Punxsutawney Phil, of the Pennsylvania Punxsutawnies.

Weather woodchucks, what a wonder!
