Groundhog Day 2023: Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow. That means he predicts 6 more weeks of winter.
Groundhog Day derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrows on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early.
