10 Years of Buffalo Bert
2023 marks 10 years of Buffalo Bert's weather predictions... and they've all been accurate!
The Buffalo Groundhog Day Society deemed Burt the "Most accurate rodent meteorologist in the U.S."
“It is amazing to me that our community has supported this event for 10 years. When we started, we just wanted to have fun, celebrate winter, and donate some money to local animal charities. Now, we have the world’s most accurate groundhog and have donated tens of thousands of dollars to animals in WNY, and we are still having fun," said Adam Hernandez, the Buffalo Groundhog Day president and co-founder.
