It could soon be time to put away your winter garb because Buckeye Chuck, Ohio’s very own groundhog, did not see his shadow. The famed Marion resident made an appearance on Sunday morning at about 7:40a.

Crowds gathered early Sunday morning to watch Ohio’s famous groundhog Buckeye Chuck make his 2025 weather prediction. Chuck didn’t see his shadow due to cloudy skies, so he predicted an early spring for Ohio. Chuck is touted as “Ohio’s Chief Prognosticating Groundhog since 1979.”

Before a huge crowd filled with excitement and anticipation, and bundled up against temperatures in the 20s, the groundhog known as Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Sunday morning in central Pennsylvania. That means we could see six more weeks of winter , at least according to Groundhog Day lore.
