Spring is coming early this year, according to the nation’s most famous groundhogs.
Staten Island Chuck didn’t see his shadow Tuesday morning, meaning winter will end early — a prediction matching that of Punxsutawney Phil.
Chuck only emerged from his enclosure at the Staten Island Zoo when a handler took him out to greet some city officials, excluding Mayor Bill de Blasio, who skipped the ceremony this year to campaign in Iowa.
“The Staten Island Zoo was so determined that it won’t become a crime scene today that they invited the DA,” joked the borough’s deputy president, Edward Burke.
