Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today!
Ha ha, just a little holiday movie reference humour for you as Canadians from coast to coast celebrate this glorious Groundhog Day, 2020! People across our great nation will turn their eyes to Canada’s most famous groundhog, Wiarton Willie, to find out our weather forecast for the upcoming Spring here in the year of our Lord 2020 AD!
If Willie doesn’t see his shadow then we might get an early reprieve from winter, allowing Canadians to head out of their homes and gather together in crowded bars to watch the exciting 2019-20 NHL season of games, where the Dallas Stars seem poised to head straight to the Stanley Cup playoffs that will definitely be starting in May.
If you’re not a sports fan then Willie predicting a brief winter will make it easier to check out the highly-anticipated A Quiet Place II, premiering March 20th, and sure to be the scariest thing that happens in all of 2020! If frights aren’t your thing there’s plenty of other great movies hitting the summer multiplex in 2020, like No Time To Die, Black Widow, Ghostbusters Afterlife, F9, and Top Gun: Maverick.
You know what I can’t wait to inhale… that movie theatre popcorn!
Still, there’s always the chance that ol’ Wiarton Willie will see his darn shadow and predict that 2020’s winter will last for another 6 weeks! I for one can’t imagine what I’ll do if I have to stay cooped up inside for an entire extra month and a half of this year. Can you even?
Maybe I’ll get myself through those 6 whole weeks of winter isolation (yuck!) by focusing on this summer when our Toronto Raptors, who’ve been just dominating the 2019-20 season, will surely pull out another championship victory and give us all a great reason for another city-wide street party and parade! Here’s to our 2020 repeat champs!
I know one thing I wish Wiarton Willie would predict – an early end to the 2020 US election! Here’s hoping that after achieving peak craziness in 2016 that the 2020 Democratic Primaries kick off tomorrow, and the eventual nominee (future president Klobuchar?) runs a sensible, down to earth race against President Trump, with cooler temperatures prevailing all around.
Ha, can you imagine if that guy was still making headlines 1 or even 2 years from now?
Who knows, maybe our rodent pal Wiarton Willie can predict that 2020 will be the Year of No Drama? Here’s to a bright future ahead, and we’ll all see you back here in the same spot this time next year!
Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today!
