Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow, implying we're in for 6 more weeks of winter. Phil has seen his own shadow 108 times since his first prediction in 1887. Unfortunately, Phil's predictions have been right only about 39% of the time, according to the Stormfax Weather Almanac. In fact, Phil is a worse meteorologist than if you flipped a coin, which would be right 50% of the time. For better, predictions, check out Staten Island Chuck, who lives in New York’s Staten Island Zoo. Staten Island Chuck has been 85% accurate according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
