🎩 #WiartonWillie Weighs In - EARLY SPRING!🐾 #GroundhogDay continues as Canada's favourite weather-predicting groundhogs share their springtime insights! After a split start from the East, we've now heard from Wiarton Willie of Wiarton, Ontario. The famous groundhog did not see his shadow. According to legend, this means we can start planning for an early spring! Willie joins his colleagues, Shubenacadie Sam, Fred la Marmotte and Punxsutawney Phil in forecasting an early spring. However, Lucy the Lobster saw her shadow and is forecasting 6 more weeks of winter. The anticipation doesn't stop there, as we eagerly await the predictions of: - Manitoba Merv in Stonewall, Manitoba at 8 AM CT (9 AM ET) - Balzac Billy in Balzac, Alberta at 8 AM MT (10 AM ET) With the predictions rolling in, how do you feel about what's in store for our season? - Brennen
