Groundhog sightings.

Eagerly this morning crowds gathered in Nova Scotia to greet Shubenacadie Sam .. they waited with baited breath, to see Sam's verdict .... Sam's the first woodchuck in North America to greet the day, and in the rain this morning, Sam doesn't see his shadow ... his verdict, "An early Spring!"

In Ontario, Wiarton Willie emerged to overcast skies, and he concurred with his east coast cousin, "An early Spring!"

But in Pennsylvania, the other world famous prognosticator, Punxsutawney Phil delivered some unhappy news ... "Six more weeks of winter!" after seeing his shadow .

As the day began across North America, the various woodchuck prognosticators made their declarations ..... Staten Island Chuck cries "Six more weeks!" ... Long Island's Malverne Mel, decrees "Six more weeks of winter!" ..... Georgia's General Beauregarde Lee proclaims, "Early Spring!" .... Alberta's Balzac Billy, insists "It's an early Spring!"

So what's it to be??? .... which woodchuck do you believe? - Katherine
