WIARTON, Ont. - It was a week of severe weather across the country as the Prairies hunkered down in bone-chilling temperatures, an ice storm struck Prince Edward Island and a blustery snowstorm dumped on Ontario and Quebec, but according to Canadian weather forecasters of the furry variety, the end is in sight. Wiarton Willie, Canada's most famous weather prognosticating rodent, failed to see his shadow when roused from his slumber Saturday morning in the small southern Ontario community.
Folklore has it that if a groundhog sees his shadow on Groundhog Day, he'll flee to his burrow, heralding six more weeks of winter - if he doesn't, it means an early spring. more
