Groundhog Day

Hey, why not? They are just about as accurate as the paid forecasters, especially when it comes to forecasting six weeks out.

Groundhog Day 2011: Find your local groundhog

Punxsutawney Phil might just be the world's most famous weather-forecasting groundhog, but he's not the only one.

Whether or not Phil sees his shadow on Wednesday, his opinion isn't the only one that counts. The list below has a few other, perhaps more local, weather predicting rodents who may or may not foresee six more weeks of winter on Feb. 2, from AOL News.

• Buckeye Chuck: Ohio's official groundhog since 1979
• Staten Island Chuck: The groundhog of the Staten Island zoo who took a bite out of Mayor Bloomberg in 2009
• Smith Lake Jake: Predicting the weather from Birminghom Zoo in Alabama
• Wiarton Willie: Currently known as Wee Willie 2, the groundhog represents Ontario
• General Beauregard Lee: The University of Georgia awarded this groundhog a "Doctor of Weather Prognostication"
• Octorara Orphie: Lancaster, Pa.'s groundhog, often overshadowed by Phil
• Dunkirk Dave: Representing Dunkirk, NY
• French Creek Freddie: Representing French Creek, WV
• Woodstock Willie: Representing Woodstock, IL
• Malverne Mel: Representing Malverne, NY
• Jimmy The Groundhog: Representing Sun Praire, WI
• Stormy Marmot: Representing Aurura, CO
• Shubenacadadie Sam: Representing Nova Scotia, Canada
• Balzac Billy: Representing Alberta, Canada
