I know it's a long shot but if anyone sees a large groundhog with a hat and a vest out today, tell him thank you for me!

[ Someone's pretty gleeful that today's weather is bright! Casting shadows everywhere! Six more weeks of winter for him! ]

Is that an actual thing?

[wintershepherd]

Is what?

A groundhog with a vest and hat.

...you didn't "accidentally" set a groundhog loose in the city, by any chance, did you?

[Because that is totally a thing you would do.]

Re: video

[wintershepherd]

Believe me, you wouldn't mistake him for the regular rodent.

I'm noticing a distinct lack of the word 'no' in that response.

[ Jack beams, pleased that he doesn't have to explain. ]

That's right!

There really is a spirit for everything in your world, isn't there? It must be quite lively.

Thank you for what, exactly?

[wintershepherd]

For seeing his shadow! No early spring this year!

[watcheslanterns]

...hold on.

What does one have to do with the other?

A large groundhog with a hat and a vest....got it. Not weird at all.

[And by that he means pretty damn weird. He's not even sure he knows what a groundhog is.]

Did this groundhog give you money or something?

Re: video

[wintershepherd]

You'll know him if you saw him!

No, I owe him a big thanks. Any year when I get six more weeks is a good year!

[reliabletraitor]

I'm pretty sure I would have a hard time missing something like that.

[This is a little confusing for Alvin. Just a little.]

You're...gonna have to explain this whole six more weeks thing. I don't come from the same place you do.

[backinakidflash]

It's Groundhog Day?

[Someone is clearly surprised. This holiday snuck up on him.]

[wintershepherd]

It is, yeah. At least it is back on Earth.

[pikes]

Groundhog day.

[ It's cute. ]

The groundhog actually exists?

[wintershepherd]

[ Jack beams, then forgets Pike can't see him yet. ]

He sure does!

[modernized]

...That's a thing here? I didn't even know this place had holidays.

[wintershepherd]

It's not but I'm... connected, to the seasons back home too. I know the date all the time.

[relatable]

Groundhog Day. Meant Winter was still around for two more months in Minnesota.

[wintershepherd]

Winter might have been favoring North America since I took over, sorry. On the other hand, you guys have the best derecho winds anywhere in the country.

[offday]

I that a thing here? Animals wearing clothing? [Has seen a lot of strange things since arriving here.]

[wintershepherd]

Sometimes it is. Not everyone here is human, you know.
