There’s a disagreement between the rodents.
Staten Island Chuck did not see his shadow this Groundhog Day. “Spring is on the way!” it was declared.
Meanwhile, Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania predicted six more weeks of winter.
Tens of thousands of people are in Gobblers Knob, the location in Punxsutawney, Pa., where the famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil called for six more weeks of winter.
Phil crawled out of his burrow and saw his shadow.
We’ll have more winter weather, according to Phil, who made his prediction Thursday morning, disagreeing with Staten Island Chuck.
Just before 7:30 a.m., New York City’s official Groundhog Day prognosticator crawled out of his burrow and looked for his shadow, but to no avail.
An early spring is on its way, according to Chuck, who made his prediction at the Staten Island Zoo Thursday morning from behind a glass enclosure.
According to the Zoo, Chuck has an 80 percent accuracy rate.

B’H de Blasio didn’t waste NYC taxpayers’ money to go to Staten Island zoo; Oops:- Maybe it simply was too early in the day for him.

He didn’t want to kill another one (he is for animal rights, you know)
Besalel above needs a sense of humor. Or he can explain how frum weathermen are supposed to behave.
