Flatiron Freddy makes his Groundhog Day prediction in Colorado

Who needs Punxsutawny Phil when Colorado has Flatiron Freddy…

(Flatiron Freddy is a deceased, stuffed, fur-damaged yellow-bellied marmot who — with the help of its handlers — always arrives in a surprising way at the Chautauqua Ranger Station to declare to the world whether or not he sees his shadow.)

Unlike his counterpart in Punxsutawney, he predicted an early spring since he did not see his shadow.
