The Trials of Staten Island Chuck

Staten Island Chuck munches on a sweet potato
as a jury of pre-school youngsters weighs
the final verdict on his spring prediction.
According to this article:
"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.

  2. Seems 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!!
