Indecisive Groundhogs

So, apparently Wiarton Willie, Canada's foremost furry weather forecaster, who currently lives in Ontario, did not see his shadow, which means that we are in for an early spring (and there was much rejoicing).

Shubenacadie Sam, Nova Scotia's weather-predicting groundhog, also concurred (and there was much rejoicing).

Problem: Punxsutawney Phil, the Pennsylvania rodent, saw his shadow.

What does this mean? Is someone going to be forced to eat Phil for the rejoicing to continue? (Sorry, couldn't avoid the Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference.) Why does the American groundhog have to be so difficult? Why can't he just agree with the Canadian groundhogs? Why are we even depending on evil rat-like creatures to predict the weather anyway? Isn't this an era of science? I say banish all the groundhogs and the evil black rat squirrels. Maybe they can go live with Phil. Or maybe we could ship them to Alberta. They claim to be rat-free province but maybe they could use some rodents of other varieties.

They do look evil don't they! I just want to pound them with a mallet.
