Yep, six more weeks of winter

Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow early Sunday morning and saw his shadow, signaling that winter will be sticking around. Officially, a sight of Phil’s shadow means an extra six weeks of winter.

The odds were in favor of a longer winter, since Phil has seen his shadow 100 times and has not seen it only 17 times since 1886, including last year. After he sees (or doesn’t see) his shadow, he reports what he saw to the groundhog club’s president, speaking Groundhogese, according to Punxsutawney Groundhog Club’s Inner Circle.
