Punxsutawney Phil has an accuracy rate of 35%. Staten Island Chuck holds 1st place, runs at 80%. 2nd place is held by a prairie dog rather than a ground hog; more accurately, it is a statue of a prairie dog.

 

NOAA Actually kept track of the statistics:

See the chart for some interesting insights...

When the first Groundhog Day occurred on February 2, 1887, in Gobbler’s Knob, Pennsylvania, groundhogs were celebrated not only for their predictive abilities but also for their delicious flavor. In the 1880s, groundhog meat was the preferred cuisine at the local Punxsutawney Elks Lodge, the same lodge responsible for conceiving of the original Groundhog Day ceremony — and a summer hunt. Locals loved the taste of the small rodent, saying it was “like a cross between pork and chicken.” They would also indulge in celebratory potables like “Groundhog Punch,” an unusual concoction known to contain vodka, milk, eggs, and orange juice.

Groundhog meat continued to be served as a regional delicacy into the 20th century, with a recipe for “Groundhog, Punxsutawney Style” published in a 1958 cookbook to raise money for a local hospital. However, the hunting portion of the holiday ultimately faded in popularity, as locals opted to enjoy the animal more for its cuteness than for its taste.

all i know for certain is that no matter what that furry critter says or the calendar says about the 21st of march , my daughters birthday , we here will have winter for more than six weeks - we have had snow on memorial day here in my time here , generally lasts into april and still cold in may , opening fishing mid-may is always cold often has ice on the lake and im in heavey winter colthes 

 

furry critter aint gfooling me into thinking we get spring in six weeks , since 82 only the year of 88 gave us an early spring , that year it was 105 on memorial day - we were camping with friends , a dear friend who is dieing today got an awful sunburn on my boat - spraying her nordic skin with baby oil , ill never forget that , nor her - she was my daughters teacher that we introduced to my wifes good friends brother - been married since the late 90s ,
