Will We Get 6 More Weeks of Winter?
According to folklore, if the groundhog does see his shadow (meaning the Sun is shining), winter will not end early, and we’ll have another 6 weeks left of it. If the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow (cloudy) we’ll have an early spring. So who will be right?
Which Groundhog is the Most Reliable? Punxsutawney Phil might have a few more decades under his belt, but Staten Island Chuck is far more accurate when it comes to predicting the weather on Groundhog Day.
According to the Staten Island Advance, Staten Island Chuck, also known as Charles G. Hogg, has a better track record than his Pennsylvania counterpart. Chuck's prediction of an early spring came true in February of 2021. According to the Staten Island Advance, the rodent successfully predicted 10 out of 11 years prior to last year, with the lone miss occurring in 2017. According to the publication, Chuck has an overall accuracy percentage of 80%. Phil, on the other hand, has an overall accuracy percentage ranging from 35% to 41%, depending on the data source. According to the Staten Island Advance, the rate has risen to 50% in the last ten years.Phil will deliver his prediction at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, by 7:20 a.m. The "full-tilt celebration" is planned to begin at 6 a.m. on PCNTV. At 6 a.m., a livestream will be available.
“Will it be six more weeks of winter or an early spring?” the website reads. “There is only one groundhog who holds the answer – Punxsutawney Phil!” The Staten Island Zoo will broadcast the celebration on Facebook starting at 7:20 a.m. in New York, when Chuck will come with a "very special honorary guest," according to organizers. Due of ongoing pandemic fears, spectators will not be permitted.2022 Predictions
