Quote:
Fred la marmotte, the province's famous furry oracle in Val-d'Espoir, Que., was found dead overnight Thursday, hours before he had been expected to predict whether it would be an early or late spring.
The organizer of Thursday's Groundhog Day event in Val-d'Espoir announced the sombre news following some 40 minutes of festivities, including music and dancing.
"In life, the only thing that's certain is that nothing is certain," said a serious Roberto Blondin in front of a crowd of awaiting spectators.
"Well, this year it's true. It's true and it's unfortunate. I announce to you the death of Fred."
Blondin said he found the lifeless animal overnight when he tried to wake him. He said he had "no vital signs" and figures Fred passed away in late fall or early December, during hibernation, at the age of nine.

So... does the mean that Fred didn't see a shadow today?
Or did today confirm Fred is seeing an eternal shadow?

He saw 6 weeks of nuclear winter and decided he didn't want any truck with it.

obviously saw his shadow.... how many accounts are there of people who have been brought back after passing away and they report seeing a brilliant light... not brilliant overcast or cloudy skies... but light. light means shadows!

Several of the groundhog community members have expressed their beliefs that this was a conspiracy to undermine their sovereignty
Others however are very vocal in their outrage, pleading for an inquiry into the death of their close friend
All the while, a large and racist contingent of groundhogs have stormed the Capitol.

He's not dead. He faked his own death and is on a beach in Mexico.
