Watch: US and Canada at loggerheads after groundhogs disagree
After a year dominated by American talk of making Canada the '51st state', even their respective weather-predicting groundhogs couldn't woodchuck their differences aside.
On Groundhog Day, 2 February, Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil and Ontario's Wiarton Willie gave competing weather forecasts. While the Canadian woodchuck said spring was round the corner, the US hog told a crowd of thousands they'd be in for another six weeks of winter.
We've been here before: the two oracles disagreed on last year's Groundhog Day, too.
But both groundhogs can agree on one thing - getting their forecasts wrong. Phil has a success rate of just 35%, while Willie is even worse, at just 29%.
Correction 6 February: The introductory video text was amended as the American groundhog featured does not come from Philadelphia as we originally said but from Punxsutawney in Pennsylvania.
