Punxsutawney Phil may hog all the attention, but he isn't alone when it comes to weather-predicting groundhogs. Buckeye Chuck is the official State Groundhog in Ohio. General Beauregard Lee, Ph.D., is Georgia's Official Weather Prognosticator. Staten Island Chuck hails from New York, Sir Walter Wally is famous in North Carolina, and Jimmy the Groundhog lords over the "official Groundhog Capital of the World," Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. By the way, actual accredited weather forecasters say groundhogs are about as reliable at predicting the weather as Mattel's famous toy the Magic 8-Ball.
