More winter is coming…I don’t know. There was a shadow involved or something. This is one time where social media really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather. Yet here we are. Hey, nice marmot. Dude! Closely related to the groundhog, the Yellow-bellied Marmot, also known as the rock chuck, is a large, stout-bodied ground squirrel. As hibernators, they are a little sleepy to be weather forecasting, but why not?
