West Orange, NJ – Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. announced that Essex Ed, the resident groundhog at Turtle Back Zoo, made his annual weather prophecy on Tuesday, February 2nd. Essex Ed did not see his shadow which means spring weather is expected to come six weeks early (here’s hoping!). In addition, Essex Ed also picked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win Super Bowl LV.
“Essex Ed and I don’t always agree with the weather prediction, but this year I like his forecast of an early spring,” DiVincenzo said. ““It may be cold outside, but it’s still a great time to come out and Experience Essex, and our wonderful Turtle Back Zoo and South Mountain Recreation Complex.”
