Buckeye Chuck

Buckeye Chuck, Ohio's official weather-predicting groundhog,[1] resided in Marion, Ohio, US, until June 2023 and has resided at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in Cleveland since then.

Chuck began predicting the arrival of spring in the 1970s.

[3] In addition, the Ohio General Assembly declared Buckeye Chuck the official State Groundhog in 1979.

If the groundhog pops out from its burrow, sees his shadow, and then disappears again, it will mean that winter is to continue for six more weeks.

But if the groundhog does not see its shadow, then it will not be scared to come out of its burrow and winter will soon end.
