In this part of the globe February 2 is all about Wiarton Willie. For those who have no clue as to who or what a Wiarton Willie is, suffice it to say that it is not the name of a failed porn star but rather the name of Canada’s premier weather prognosticator. Sure, there are other whistle-pigs out there who pretend to know a thing or two about predicting either the imminent demise of Winter or the prolongation of same, but Wiarton is the gold standard. Of course there was that unfortunate event several years back in which the townsfolk of Wiarton Ontario all arrived for their annual “wake Willie” celebration only to discover Wiarton dead in his den. Whoa! Talk about your awkward moments. Still being dead has it rewards, especially if there’s still six more weeks of Winter to plough through.
Dig it! =^..^=
