Two famous groundhogs in Canada have come to different conclusions on when spring will arrive.

In Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, Shubenacadie Sam announced he didn’t see his shadow at around 8 a.m. (AST).

In contrast, Wiarton Willie from Ontario officially said he did see his shadow, meaning six more weeks of winter.

In Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early Spring when he didn't see his shadow Tuesday morning. According to his website, he's right 100 per cent of the time. 

So I guess we’ll have to wait and see which groundhog knows what he’s talking about.
