Lucy the Lobster is an American lobster from Barrington, Nova Scotia.[1] She is well known for predicting the well known Groundhog Day tradition of finding out if there is an early spring or six more weeks of winter[2], being the only lobster to do so. As of Nov 12, 2024, she starred in her own book by Pam Wamback.[3]
Tradition
[edit]Ever since 2018[4], on February 2nd every year, it is believed that Lucy would crawl out of the ocean, and predict if there will be an early spring or six more weeks of winter by looking for her shadow like a typical groundhog would. She usually is the first to predict the weather in North America due to the Nova Scotia time zone being UTC-4:00. As of 2025, Lucy made her prediction at 8 am.[5]
Predictions
[edit]These are the predictions made by Lucy ever since her debut in 2018.[2]

| 2022 | Six more weeks of winter |

The Book
[edit]In 2024, Pam Wamback, called "the lady who loves lobster"[6] released the book "Lucy the Lob'STAR: How a Lucky, Plucky Lobster Escaped the Traps to Become One of the Most Famous Weather Forecasters in the World!" The book talks about the fictionalized story of Lucy’s rise to fame.
The book involves ambitious Lucy the Lobster who wishes that one day, she will achieve fame instead of just doing nothing along Nova Scotia's coastline. One day, Lucy meets Gilbert, a groundhog who is looking for a replacement so that he can retire. Despite never predicting before, she steps up to the challenge, and predicts the weather on Groundhog Day.[7]
