Bienvenue au Canada!

This is the first Marmoset Day that the Epstein’s have had someone in Canada!

That’s right, one of us moved to The Great White North and learned that beyond the well known Punxsutawney Phil, best known for his work in the movie Groundhog Day, Canada has three more!

GroundhogPrediction
Punxsutawney Phil (USA)Long Winter
Fred la Marmotte (CA)Early Spring
Wiarton Willie (CA)Early Spring
Shubenacadie Sam (CA)N/A (winter storm)

The current argument is that since the storm prevented Sam from seeing her shadow, that it means Early Spring. So Canada wins with a 3-1 over the USA.

Three Marmosets on a tree. Two have red hats and are showing thumbs up, one has a blue hat and shows thumbs down. Below them is  a third marmoset in a red hat, covered in snow, sticking out a thumbs up.
Poor Sam is stuck under the snow!

Over in Epstein Land, Susan wins for the 2nd year running! This time by being in Asia for the event.
