The groundhog died
What does it presage about our weather when the groundhog dies? CTV has a rather gruesome picture of a guy holding the dead animal. (Photo is gone, according to comment below.)

I must need to see a shrink or something. I’ve been reading the articles and laughing uncontrollably at just how bizarre it is

It’s the first sign of fimbulwinter.

the picture is from 2021, when it was still alive.

Thank you, steph.
It doesn’t look thrilled to be held, though.

Weird that CTV includes a tweet of theirs, in an article explaining that he’s dead, that says “According to Fred la Marmotte we’re in for six more weeks of winter”. Also, what they don’t mention in the article, but is shown in the image at the end, is that the adults decided to dress the child up in a groundhog suit. I’m with Francesco, this is comedy gold.

The CTV page has been edited to eliminate the (what looks like a) morbid photo. The photo that made me laugh even more.

Francesco, I fished the picture out for you.
