Two of Canada's furry prognosticators agree.

Both Schubenacadie Sam and Wiarton Willie emerging from their burrows to predict an early spring.

Sam tweeting out "No shadow to be seen through this storm! Can’t wait for early spring! Do storm showers bring spring flowers?"

Wiarton Willie also sending out a tweet "Well folks, my prediction is #official. With cloudy skies and snow falling upon us this morning in #Wiarton it was very hard to find my shadow - even with all the camera lights around! Fans of spring rejoice, an #EarlySpring is around the corner."

And the word from Gobbler's Knob.

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and that means he is forecasting six more weeks of winter. Boo!
