While Phil is probably one of the most well-known and talked about weather predictors, he is not the only one around. Many other communities employ their own weather-predicting groundhog to sit on the throne of their local Groundhog Day events.
General Beauregard Lee is the weather predictor for the city of Lilburn, Georgia. Staten Island Chuck takes care of the New York territory, and Lancaster has three of its own, which is probably linked to its rich Pennsylvania Dutch history.
Canada has even started its own Groundhog Day tradition with Shubenacadie Sam in Nova Scotia and Balzac Billy in Alberta.
