Reply to comment by MisterPaulCraig in Website that lists all of North America's Groundhog Day “groundhogs”, forecasts, and where they are from. by MisterPaulCraig

honestly, I used to throw in with Wharton willy, but today I learned of the existence of Manitoba merv, the weather predicting golf club cover: https://groundhog-day.com/groundhogs/manitoba-merv

Also of note, in some cites in the usa they have replaced their ground hogs with wide mouthed bass, a bullfrog, a duck, and a cat. Seems the "ground hog" of Groundhog Day is just a suggestion.

“Groundhog” is more like a job title than a formal designation
