Yes people, it's that time of the year again, will we have a early spring, and more importantly a start to the riding season!

Let's see what the fur ball tells us.
Nothing scientific, just for fun, annnnnnddd.. it's not political!

So far this is looking promising

Groundhog Day 2026: Did Willie see his shadow?

Wiarton Willie and Fred la Marmotte were all set to emerge from their homes Monday, and according to legend, there will be six more weeks of winter if they see their shadows, and an early spring if they don’t.

Last year I was able to get out around Mar 10, 2025, so about a month from now.

Around here a groundhog would need a ladder to get his head above the snow, so what's the call?

During peak sow a rabbit cut across the back yard but all I could see was its head popping through the snow very foot or so, like a porpoise.

FWIW I tried snowshoeing for the first time yesterday. Not a lot of fun.

I've only done snowshoeing 1 time, it was fun for me. Even when I didn't have the best shoes on.
You didn't have poles?
