Canada's best-known furry forecaster is calling for an early spring.
Ontario's Wiarton Willie failed to see his shadow in the annual Groundhog Day ritual this morning.

Willie's prediction agrees with Nova Scotia's prognosticating rodent Shubenacadie Sam but is at odds with Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil, who is calling for six more weeks of winter.
Folklore has it that if a groundhog sees his shadow on Groundhog Day he'll flee to his burrow, heralding six more weeks of winter, and if he doesn't, it means spring's around the corner.
