Paulie the Rabbit

Paulie the Rabbit is a rabbit who provided a weather prediction in Milltown, New Jersey, on Groundhog Day 2026.

Milltown has famously been without a Groundhog Day event since 2022 after the previous groundhog prognosticator, Milltown Mel, passed away. Milltown has not been able to obtain a new groundhog due to a New Jersey law. So a Milltown Facebook group decided to name an honorary "groundhog" and Paulie was the winner.
