Who gave him the shovel in the first place?? Where I live, Winter can last until the end of April and beyond. Right now we have -8 below 0, with a wind chill factor of -30 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Official word from Punxsutawney is that we will have an EARLY SPRING…we’ll see! Here in Montana it was -1 this morning in my neck of the woods, -13 yesterday…right now it’s 17 above. wow.
My Grandpa always told me if the groundhog saw is shadow, we’d have 6 more weeks of winter, if he didn’t see his shadow we’d have a month and a half more winter.
When I was a kid, living in the midwest, I never understood the groundhog stories where people would be sad that the groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter. I would be happy if there were ONLY six more weeks of winter.

Yes Grog, just ask the folks in the northwest states.

All wrong! More winter comes if he sees his shadow … but it’s snowing (or raining) so it’s cloudy so there’s no shadow so winter’s over.

Northwest states nothing! It was 25 last night here in southern California!!

This is sort of like digging the Panama Canal on a micro scale! WHAT is he doing with all the ‘spoil’ that he’s digging out in front of him??

At least six more weeks of DIGGING OUT FROM winter, Spook.

Kind of hard to tell which one is the Spook and which is the groundhog.

No oe needs that

If their tunnels intersect, Spook might find himself living in a groundhog burrow. (Better than the dungeon I guess!)
