Don't be a groundhog grump





 
 
Fred, Quebec's weather predicting groundhog, is dead. 
 
Fred le Marmotte was found frozen to death 
in Val-d'Espoir. He's believed to have died in his sleep, hibernating in December.
 
The groundhog was nine.
 
A kid in a rodent toque
was hurried to a stage to
tell a saddened crowd
there would be six more weeks
of winter.
 
Fred is survived by Wiarton Willie, 
Punxsutawney Phil, and 
dozens of municipal loudmouthes 
in costume.
