Manitoba's groundhog of choice, Manitoba Merv did not see his shadow this morning, so according to some weird screwed-up superstition it means we will have an early Spring. I'm not sure if this is based on logic or science, but I'm pretty sure a "sockpuppet" can't really forecast the future, but maybe the guy attached to the hand under the puppethead buried under the snow knows something we don't know.
Time to put away the shovel...if not, blame the puppet!
