The three wisehogs have spoken this #GroundhogDay

The three wisehogs have spoken. Punxsutawney Phil – shadow (no early spring), Wiarton Willie – no shadow (early spring), Pineview Pete – no shadow!

Here are some facts about the Groundhog..

• the groundhog lives in Canada as well as the eastern and midwestern U.S.
• it also goes by the name woodchuck
• it’s a member of the squirrel family
• Willie has not always been Willie (In 1956 they started with Grundoon followed by Muldoon, Dandune and then Willie.)
• they average two feet long and about ten pounds (that’s three boxes of Hamburger Helper)

Popular Groundhog day activities include..

• go around the office all day making crude jokes about seeing ‘Willy’s shadow.’
• go around telling everyone that Wiarton Willy really did not see his shadow again – because he’s been dead for 13 years!
• get up in the morning, put on your Wookie costume, run around the backyard screaming “me shadow, me shadow, I can’ts finds me shadow”.
