Ah yes - the prognostication of the varioius groundhogs around the
world.

Connecticut has it's own version of Punxsutawney Phil, Chuckles the
Groundhog.

Chuckle's prognostications follow the same format as Punxsutawney Phil
- sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If
he does not see his shadow, there will be an early Spring.

And Connecticut, the Steady State, land of Nutmeg, The Charter Oak,
liberal yet oddly conservative, will always have an early Spring.

Chuckles is blind. :)
