Happy February 2! The NWS Climate Prediction Center says to expect an early spring in parts of the United States marked orange: the Southwest, South, and East Coast.

(I trust CPC more than any groundhog or hedgehog. Sorry, Sonic. 🦔️)

Happy 30th Anniversary of #HedgehogDay! On February 2, 1994, #SonicTheHedgehog3 was released in North America. This iconic side-scroller is still genre defining to this day, even if it was technically half a game!

@QuirkyFilms Hedgies in film for #HedgehogDay
- Once Upon a Forest (1993) - Russell
- Toy Story 3 (2010) - Mr. Pricklepants
- Hedgehog in the Fog (1975 short)

- Sonic 2 (2022)

Und: Heute ist der Tag des Igels - #HedgehogDay!

It's 2 February. #Weebleville doesn't have any groundhogs, or any hedgehogs for that matter. They have Trixie, a hog on a hog. 🐷🏍️

Today (Feb 2) in the U.S 🇺🇸 is #HedgehogDay 🦔
Hedgehog Day tends to live in the “shadow” of Groundhog Day, but we at QF wanted to highlight these cute thorny creatures with some film sightings.

Well, wel, well…looks who’s come out of hibernation, it’s Hubert the #hedgehog 🦔
He’s looking fit and healthy even if it is still chilly at night. Ignore the 7°C as this camera traps temperature sensor is often reads a little higher than it actually is. He fed on and off from 10.40pm until 5.00am.
I’ll start putting food and water out every night and see if any more appear.

Before #GroundhogDay, there was #HedgehogDay. German immigrants to Pennsylvania in USA brought their #Candlemas weather forecasting superstition, which involved observing bears, badgers, or hedgehogs, and adapted them to groundhogs.
