I actually love Groundhog day. Any suggestion that spring is coming makes me happy.

Here at 3fc, we learn something new every day!

Here in PA, we swear by Punxsutawney Phil!

What about Staten Island Chuck??

And then there's Westport Willy!

You chicks crack me up!

Ruth, does "willy" have the same meaning in Canada as it does here? Naming your groundhog that seems a bit like the British calling theirs "Farmington Fanny..." "

Personally, I'd love any reason to hope that spring is on its way. Yesterday was blissful--45 and sunny and the smell of spring was in the air. But I know better.

Now why would you ask ME a question like that, Beachgal?
It's short for William, of course!
