Happy Groundhog Day!

Today is Groundhog Day. And did you know a mayor in Southern Ontario, home to Wille the groundhog wants Groundhog Day to be an "actual" holiday? Crazy right?

So if you don't know the legend behind all this, here's a blurb found in the Metro Edmonton today:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "According to legend, the groundhog emerges from its burrow at noon and, if sunny, it sees its shadow, becomes frightened and returns, meaning winter will last for six more weeks. If it does not see its shadow, the worst of winter is said to be over and warmer weather is on its way."

So there you have it folks. Hopefully the groundhog does NOT see his/her shadow because I don't want six more weeks of hell! Please!!!! I'm asian so I can't really handle all this coldness - Like how I can't handle the next 2 days of midterms! Gahh! Back to studying!


***UPDATE***

For Western Canada, the groundhog did see its shadow so it's expected that we have six more weeks of Winter!!! NOOOOO!!!!
but... Eastern Canada, the groundhog did not see its shadow so there won't be six more weeks of Winter!!! WooHoo!!!!

But which groundhog is right? 50/50? or Westerners stick with the western groundhog and Easterners stick with the eastern groundhog? Hmm....
