We are reporting live from the Lathrop State Park Visitor Centre (photo) 167 miles south of Denver Colorado, where we are eagerly anticipating the emergence of "Bartholomew Badger" (photo) from his den, and his prognostication of how many weeks of winter are still ahead of us. We set out on this road trip after reading Arie's "Groundhog Day" comment yesterday.
It is a common misconception that the groundhog is the premier winter forecaster, when in fact it is the BADGER! Look up "Groundhog Day" on Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day) or see the extract below.
