Did he see it?
Ontario's answer to Groundhog Day mascots "predicted" what many of us already expected Monday:
We will see six more weeks of winter. Famed rodent Wiarton Willie "looked" around briefly in nearby
Bruce County and saw what appeared to be his shadow. Environment Canada, meanwhile, predicts
temperatures will soar to a rainy seven degrees Saturday, making the last stretch of winter a wet one.
In other regions, puppet Manitoba Mery also predicted six more weeks of winter.
Nova Scotia's Shubenacadie Sam and Pensylvania's Punxsutawney Phil also saw their shadows
Monday morning. German tradition holds that if a hibernating animal casts a
shadow Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter would last another
six weeks. If no shadow was'seen, legend said spring would come early.
