First, Punxsutawney Phil reported from just outside of Pennsylvania. He did not see his shadow this year which means that spring is on its way early for those in the US!
Shortly after Phil made his call, Wiarton Willie reported from Canada. He did not see his shadow either, which means spring will also come early for those in Canada!
Canadians can expect an early spring, if you believe in the predicting powers of groundhogs.
North America's first groundhog prediction came from Nova Scotia's Shubenacadie Sam, who didn't see his shadow. The groundhog stayed out of his burrow Wednesday, predicting an early spring, said the Nova Scotia department of natural resources.
Soon after, Wiarton Willie in Wiarton, Ont., also failed to see his shadow.
The official announcement, which came at 8:07 a.m. ET, was greeted with cheers by the hundreds of people who braved the worst storm of the winter to attend the festivities inside a huge tent in Wiarton's Bluewater Park.
