Groundhog Day forecast: More winter weather
Discovery Place Nature
Charlotte's most famous groundhog emerged from her burrow early this morning to make her annual weather forecast for the region.
Queen Charlotte saw her shadow, meaning six more weeks of winter.
Discovery Place Nature's resident groundhog made her royal Groundhog Day proclamation at an invitation-only ceremony before the Museum opened to the public.
The celebration continues throughout the morning with family story time and a puppet show. Kids also can make a groundhog puppet to take home.
For more royal proclamations, follow @CLTgroundhog on Twitter.
