| Staten Island Chuck munches on a sweet potato as a jury of pre-school youngsters weighs the final verdict on his spring prediction. |
"Chuck predicted an early spring and he's been taking what we call a beating in the court of public opinion," Mitchell said. "A couple of snow storms, biting the mayor last year; he's really been taking a shellacking." According to Peter Laline, general curator at the Zoo and a "groundhog whisperer," there have been 26 days of temperatures over 40 degrees since his prediction and 15 days under 40 degrees.
Well we are enjoying 75 and sunshine. Love this weather....flowers are popping out in the back yard! Oh my goodness I love Spring!!
ReplyDeleteSeems like I read that his accuracy rate for the past 25 years is considerably higher than Phil and those other whistle-pigs. Anyway, our weather has been pretty nice since his prognostication. Go Chuck!!
