But there's a lot of the USA and only one groundhog that was interviewed.

See

for a rather more scientific assessment.


And in case you think we are off-topic, "Groundhog Day" is actually
based on a *European* tradition (is that why the people in the video
wore funny old-fashioned clothes?). 2nd February is "Candlemas Day" and
as the old Scottish rhyme says:

"If Candlemas day be fine and clear,
There'll be twa winters in the year.

If Candlemas day be cloudy with rain,
Winter's gone and won't come again."


Looks like good news for the "coldies", then...
