Description: It's official -- or as official as groundhogs can make a prediction: We'll see an early spring this year. Lured out of his house, Charles G. Hogg, better known as Staten Island Chuck, did not see his shadow and declared that winter will be over in two weeks. "No shadow," proclaimed Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "Spring is coming."Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil, meanwhile -- called for six more weeks of winter. With all eyes on the pair with a rich history, Chuck did not bite Hizzoner today, instead acting as a sophisticated rodent. Last year, Chuck made international headlined after snapping at the mayor's finger. http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/02/staten_islands_famous_groundho.html
