16 hours and counting here in Nova Scotia for the official start of Groundhog Day here in Canada and the rest of North America.
Shubenacadie Sam is a famous Canadian groundhog who lives at the Shubenacadie Wildlife Park in the town of Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. Every February 2, on Groundhog Day, Sam's shadow is closely observed at 08:00 AST to make the traditional prediction whether there will be an early spring. Due to Nova Scotia's Atlantic time zone, Sam makes the first Groundhog Day prediction in North America.
