Punxsutawney Phil’s long-term accuracy is only around 39%, meaning some other prognosticators have more accurate predictions. From ducks and chickens to squirrels and hedgehogs, many states have their own animal prognosticator.
The center of attraction used to be Pisgah Pete but because of his recent retirement, Penelope Ella Catherine Elizabeth, aka Pisgah Penny, will be surrounded by the fanfare.
This annual event is unique because winter prognostication isn’t dependent on whether Henrietta sees her shadow or not but rather when the bird lays her egg. There is no word on if the egg-laying style of forecasting is more accurate than seeing one’s shadowy figure, but anything will do when you are tired of seeing the snowdrifts burying literally everything in sight. Handlers of the state’s most infamous duck believe they have the most accurate weather-predicting groundhog alternative on the planet.
Animal experts say what makes the beaver different from a groundhog is its tail and teeth. The adaptations make the animal primed for its watery habitat versus a groundhog, who prefers a good patch of dry land.
