Me explaining Groundhog Day to a non-North American... so every town has their own winter prediction groundhog, but there is a supreme groundhog who gets the final say about how much longer winter will be. Totally cool and not weird at all right?
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day. As tradition goes, Punxsutawney Phil will predict six more weeks of winter if he sees his shadow.

As an alum I can say you'll learn a lot / have autonomy but also a ton of guidance, with a side of birding. TrentU / Peterborough was also my fave place to live.
