    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.

  • A Norwegian Marmoset

    They don’t do Marmoset Day in Norway, but none-the-less, we had a couple Epsteins there.

    Mika and Judith (and Mika’s mom) were in the Arctic Circle and took a photo at about 9am.

    Mika won.
