Portage la Prairie Larry saw his shadow just after sunrise this morning, meaning he is forecasting six more weeks of winter. This was Larry's first time predicting the weather for Groundhog Day.

Every February 2nd, since 1887, Punxsutawney Phil has popped out of his hole at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to look for his shadow. If he sees it, it means six more weeks of winter. If he does not see his shadow, it means an early spring. In 1987, Shubenacadie Sam from Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia joined in the fun. Due to the Atlantic time zone, Sam is the first groundhog in North America to make a prediction.

Shubenacadie Sam predicted six more weeks of winter around 6 a.m. our time when he saw his shadow.

Punxatawney Phil also predicted six more weeks of winter. This is the first time since 2018 where Phil did not call for an early spring.

Fred la Marmotte joins in, also calling for six more weeks of winter, as does Manitoba Merv from Oak Hammock Marsh in Stonewall and Balzac Billy from Balzac, Alberta.

Wiarton Willie is the only groundhog to predict an early spring, not seeing his shadow this morning.
