Concord Charlie has never actually been seen — but he’s presumed to be a groundhog from Athens, W.Va. According to Groundhog-day.com, since 1978 Charlie has met annually with the President of Concord University and relayed his predictions. Charlie has made 47 predictions since 1979 — 18 of those for six more weeks of winter.

Staten Island Chuck, a groundhog at the Staten Island Zoo, did not see his shadow Sunday and predicted an early spring for 2025. Chuck's forecast contradicts Punxsutawney Phil, who predicted six more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow about an hour earlier at Gobbler's Knob in Pennsylvania.
