Update: Groundhog Day or Taste of Bayside

February 2, 2011

Update, 10:17 a.m.: Staten Island Advance reports that Charles G. Hogg, otherwise known as "Groundhog Chuck," did not see his shadow when hoisted out of his burrow, signifying an early end to spring.

Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil, who also did not see a shadow, concurred with Chuck's prognostication.

Wednesday: OK campers, rise and shine— and don't forget your booties, 'cause it's cold out there!
