Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

If there's a more useless day than Groundhog Day, I've yet to hear about it.  Every year on this day we hear whether some special groundhog saw his shadow or not as if this information will tell us how many weeks of winter we can expect.  As silly as it is, every year you check to see if we're getting six more weeks or not and then about 4 minutes later you forget all about it.

If you're curious, Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania and our very own Wiarton Willie saw their shadow while Shubenacadie Sam in Nova Scotia didn't.  By a final score of 2-1 we're getting another six weeks of winter.  Whoopie.
