Staten Island Chuck (a.k.a Charles G. Hogg) is the borough’s resident groundhog. He lives at the Staten Island Zoo in West Brighton. And he has an excellent record when it comes to predicting whether we’ll experience an early spring or six more weeks of dark, blustery winter.

If the weather-predicting groundhog sees his shadow, it allegedly means six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, it means an early spring. However, Punxsutawney Phil’s winter prognoses have only been right about 39% of the time.

Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, as the world's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, will emerge for his annual prognostication. Over 40,000 people are expected for this year's festivities.
