staten island chuck Staten Island Zoo

A year after Staten Island Chuck made international headlines after biting Mayor Michael Bloomberg during a Groundhog Day ceremony at the Staten Island Zoo, the stage is set again for the furry forecaster.

Staten Island Chuck, also referred to more formally as Charles G. Hogg, is a groundhog who resides in the Staten Island Zoo in Staten Island, New York in the United States. He is noted as the official groundhog meteorologist of New York City who predicts the duration of winter each February 2 on Groundhog Day.

He makes the prediction based on whether or not he sees his shadow at 7:30 A.M. on Groundhog Day. The ceremony at the zoo is often attended and officiated by the Mayor of New York City.

All eyes will be on the famous rodent -- and on Bloomberg's hand -- as the event gets underway shortly at the Broadway zoo. Festivities start at about 7:10 a.m. and Chuck's prediction for the rest of winter will be announced at about 7:30.
