So here's the short of it,
Chattanooga Chuck calls for 6 More Weeks of Winter.

And here's the long

Well down in Atlanta at the Yellow River Game ranch groundhog General Beauregard Lee predicted that spring is on the way.  And Punxsutawney Phil, predicted an early spring when he failed to see his shadow Wednesday morning at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

But here in Chattanooga at the Tennessee Aquarium, Chattanooga Chuck saw his shadow, meaning the Tennessee Valley is in for six more weeks of winter!

"They" say Chattanooga Chuck was right last year. 

Here's what the Farmer's almanac says is coming.  It doesn't sound so much like what we've had...
