Groundhog Day
It’s Groundhog Day and some of the militant marmots object to being disturbed.
FYI: this is approximately the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. It is called Imbolc among the Celts, which is why people are interested.
Update: In Pennsylvania Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow around 7:25 a.m. and did not see his shadow, predicting an early spring for us all., but in Nova Scotia 6 more weeks of winter, says Shubenacadie Sam. On average groundhogs are right 40% of the time. Flipping a coin has a better average for accuracy.
