The buzz for Groundhog Day may be all about Punxsutawney Phil, but Colorado has its own weather-predicting rodent: Flatiron Freddy.
Hailing from Boulder, dapper-dressed stuffed marmot Flatiron Freddy has made winter predictions for more than 12 years, usually showing up in style to the celebration: skiing down a trail, driving a car out of his burrow, and even by zip line in a canoe.
This year, Punxsutawney Phil made his own prediction for winter after he saw his shadow: six more weeks of winter. Flatiron Freddy also concurred with the Pennsylvania groundhog when he too saw his shadow Sunday morning at the Chautauqua Ranger Cottage.
