Flatiron Freddy, Boulder’s stuffed, top-hat-wearing marmot, saw his shadow on Sunday morning, predicting six more weeks of winter.
The annual Groundhog Day event at Chautauqua Park, hosted by Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, is known for Freddy’s creative entrances, from ziplining to arriving by canoe.
Once a discarded nature center display, Freddy was rescued, given a top hat, and transformed into a local legend.
Over the past seven years, Freddy has seen his shadow five times, with his last prediction for an early spring occurring in 2022.
