West Virginia -(Ammoland.com)- The Mountain State’s unofficial weather prognosticating groundhog, French Creek Freddie, will be the star of the show Tuesday, Feb. 2, at the West Virginia State Wildlife Center in Upshur County.

Wildlife Center personnel will awaken West Virginia’s most famous rodent out of his winter hibernation to predict the severity of the remaining six weeks of winter. After making his forecast before an audience of hundreds of groundhog fans and reporters, he will be content to return to his warm bed.

“In addition to receiving what we hope will be a favorable forecast from Freddie, we are excited to welcome our visitors, including those who will travel quite a distance to visit the Wildlife Center on this special day,” said Tyler Evans, wildlife biologist at the Wildlife Center.

Anyone who can’t attend in person will be able to watch live streaming of Freddie’s prediction ceremony on Facebook at www.facebook.com/wildlifewv. High definition video will be made available later in the day on the West Virginia Department of Commerce website at www.wvcommerce.org.
