The groundhog was wrong

The groundhog is a long way from here. He also probably would have preferred to rest comfortably in his hole, rather than being rudely dragged out by some human in a ridiculous costume. Still, humans decided that we’ll have an early spring, the groundhog’s true prediction unknown because he never voluntarily came out. If he had slept in his nest as he no doubt intended, he would not have seen his shadow!

Here, we use daffodils to see if spring is early or late. Or about the same. This year, it’s late: no daffodils open in our yard. Other yards don’t count, just like other groundhogs don’t count.
