"...the second most famous—after Wiarton Willie—being Punxsutawney Phil of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania"
How can Wiarton Willie be the most well known groundhog of them all when it was in Pennsylvania where Groundhog day started in the first place ? Stettlerj 17:30, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Groundhog Day is all about making wild claims for your rodent of choice. Here's an excerpt from the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club:
Not bad, considering that P. Phil is #2! Sunray 09:30, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Anyone that can believe a prediction (on February 2nd, in Ontario) that winter is almost over has been smoking something...-- Wee Charlie 21:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Really, this amuses me so much, every year, oh the Groundhog is some percent accurate, it is too laugh, and they call themselves meteorologists!
You can read it clearly in the autobiography of Wiarton Willie I (as dictated to Mother Nature 1997): "Spring is a Celestial event. Not up to groundhogs or people. But if you need a reason to party then party on!"
These 'scientists' are not great at reading contracts. The deal says "6 weeks, or a month and a half". Willie is 100% accurate.
