Were a groundhog to emerge in Thomasburg this morning it would definitely not see its shadow. Wiarton Willie, concurs.
As I wrote last year, to us the prediction of six more weeks of winter sounds more like a promise than a curse. End of winter in the middle of March? Sounds good to me. Especially this year when we had no winter until just a few short weeks ago--six more's a cakewalk. So when the groundhog predicts an early spring instead, I hardly know what to make of it.
But maybe the groundhog isn't really a good prognosticator. The Straight Dope suggests perhaps it's more often wrong than right. What?!?

Ha! You're *so* right about that! I will be quite happy if winter is pretty much finished by mid-March -- although, that said, it's been a pretty easy winter.
Hello from Quinte West ... not too far from you in Tweed. I've driven through Thomasburg many times on my way up Hwy. 37. Spring is coming ... I know it is! But when?? Stop by and visit my blog. Check out the link to Quinte Green Thumbs and join the ever growing gardening group.
