The Kansas City Chiefs have won Super Bowl LIV by beating the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20. Kansas City last won it all in Super Bowl IV, fifty years ago.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes won the Super Bowl’s Most Valuable Player. He’s the youngest quarterback to win the award, he’s just 24.

Now, the Chiefs are already the favourites to win next year’s Super Bowl. Late last night, they opened at 6-to-1 odds in Vegas to win Super Bowl 55. They’re followed by the Baltimore Ravens at 7-to-1 and the 49ers at 8-to-1.

Yesterday was Groundhog Day, and we’ve got mixed results from the weather predicting rodents.

Wiarton Willie and Fred la Marmotte didn’t see their shadow so they’re calling for a early Spring. Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam emerged from his burrow outside of Halifax and saw his shadow.

Down south, Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow.

Well folks, my prediction is #official. With cloudy skies and snow falling upon us this morning in #Wiarton it was very hard to find my shadow – even with all the camera lights around! Fans of spring rejoice, an #EarlySpring is around the corner. #WiartonWillie #Wiarton pic.twitter.com/VEohypsXuU

Yesterday was a rare palindrome day: 02/02/2020. A palindrome reads the same forward and backward.

It’s rare because it works if you use the North American style dates of month-day-year or international style of day-month-year.

The last one was 909 years ago on 11/11/1111. The next one is in 111 years, December 12, 2121.
