Fun on the Web Feb 2 2013 Happy Groundhogs Day

"Uh oh! The stars of Groundhog Day are disagreeing about what's next for winter."

Who saw their shadow? That will be the question most of the day after 7:10 am when we have sunrise. Groundhogs Day is always a day when those of us in the north look forward to finding out if we are having early spring or six more weeks of winter.

For over 60 years Wisconsin has had their own Groundhog, Jimmy. BTW he is right in his prediction about 80% of the time. Not sure I will be out there having the breakfast buffet but it might be fun. (Yes, in Wisconsin its always about the food.) BTW Jimmy said early spring ahead along with most of the others.

Was it Wiarton Willie in Ontario? In 55 years this has become a full on festival.

Are you a big fan of Punxsutawney Phil? He has had about 39 percent accuracy ever since 1886.

Buckeye Chuck is one of two groundhogs in Ohio known for predicting the arrival of spring. A native of Marion, Ohio, Chuck began predicting the arrival of Spring in the 1970s. Although he doesn't have his own website, Wikipedia says he is the Official State Groundhog.
