Jimmy The Groundhog Doesn't Get A Snow Day | Events

Sun Prairie's Jimmy the Groundhog will not be playing to the crowd in Sun Prairie's Cannery Square on Wednesday morning, but the that doesn't mean the furry prognosticator will get to sleep in at sunrise.

Mayor Joe Chase said the Sun Prairie Chamber of Commerce cancelled the downtown event due to the blizzard targeting south central Wisconsin, but he said, "You can't really push back Feb. 2."

Jimmy the Groundhog and his handlers will meet with the mayor Wednesday morning, even though the answer to the question of whether Jimmy will see his shadow seems a bit obvious. Chase said tradition is important to everyone involved.

He said he will read the ceremonial proclamation like he does every year, but it's safe to say this year Mother Nature is raining, or rather, snowing on Jimmy's parade.
