Shubenacadie Sam : ウィキペディア英語版 | Shubenacadie Sam Shubenacadie Sam is a famous Canadian groundhog who lives at the Shubenacadie Wildlife Park in the town of Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. Every February 2, on Groundhog Day, Sam's shadow is closely observed at 08:00 AST to make the traditional prediction whether there will be an early spring. Due to Nova Scotia's Atlantic timezone, Sam makes the first Groundhog Day prediction in North America.〔("Shubenacadie Sam to Make Annual Prediction" Nova Scotia Government Dept. of Natural Resources Press Release Jan. 28, 2010 )〕 (He is also joined by his Cape Breton groundhog cousin "Two Rivers Tunnel" at the Two Rivers Wildlife Park in Mira River, Nova Scotia). The prediction ceremony is heralded by a bagpiper and town crier and draws an early-morning festive crowd of families and visitors. The Shubenacadie Sam tradition began about 1987 and differs from most other famous groundhogs as he is not woken from hibernation for Groundhog Day.〔("N.S. Groundhog Dodges Hiberation in Heated House", ''Novanet News Now'', Feb. 2, 2007 )〕 Shubenacadie Sam most recently predicted a long winter at his appearance in February 2015.〔( "Shubenacadie Sam predicts 6 more weeks of winter” ‘’CBC’’ February 2, 2015 )〕 ==Past predictions==
