I’m not sure why any marmot would venture out on a very cold -17 degree morning to look for its shadow to supposedly predict how much longer winter will be. Maybe that is why some groundhogs have bitten the people forcing them out in the cold for the prediction. Even if the groundhog predicts six more weeks of winter, that would be a shorter winter than we normally get. I didn’t see a groundhog out but I did see a mouse running on top of the snow, casing a shadow, so I guess there will a long winter here too unless my cat catches that rodent and cancels the prediction.
