"Cajun Groundhog" predicts early spring

Posted: Updated:

Pierre Shadeaux, New Iberia's famous "Cajun Groundhog," did not see his shadow early Thursday morning.  

This means we can look for it to be an early spring, but the temperatures here have been so mild that it feels like winter never even started.

Shadeaux, who is actually a Nutria Rat, has been forecasting the end of winter for 13 years.
