Staten Island Chuck to Punxsutawney Phil: Fugetaboutit!

New York City's Charles G. Hogg -- known to friends as Chuck -- begs to differ with the famous furball in Pennsylvania.

Phil saw his shadow, which is supposed to mean six more weeks of winter.

Chuck -- "speaking" through New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg -- saw "absolutely no shadow."

Bloomberg, noting the City Council's funding powers, said Chuck had better be right. Quipped Bloomberg: "If Chuck embarrasses us, this is going to be a very long winter for the Staten Island Zoo."
