Surrounded by an adoring audience at Blue Grass Nursery, human-sized rodent, Balzac Billy did see his shadow – but the province is not alone!

Famed puppet, Manitoba Merv and Canada’s most unusual-looking ‘groundhog’, Lucy the Lobster, also saw their shadows this morning.

Wiarton Willie in Ontario, Fred La Marmotte (Jr.) in Quebec and Shubenacadie Sam in Nova Scotia, however, predicted an early spring for their respective provinces.

Disappointed? We are too, but don’t fret! Alberta is always ready and can handle anything.

It looks like the cold is here to stay, but that just means we could get an extended ski season.

Here’s to chills, thrills and even more time to binge whatever show you’re watching right now.
