It's Groundhog Day. And, while most of the country gets weather forecasts from Punxsutawney Phil or a local groundhog, Wyoming relies on Lander Lil, a prairie dog.
The original Lander Lil was a live prairie dog, but eventually she was replaced by a statue in the middle of town.
Note how she's carefully positioned so that her shadow is behind her. That doesn't necessarily guarantee an early spring, but you can't fault Wyomingites for trying, can you?
