Apparently Phil's accuracy in predicting the weather on Groundhog Day is at 39%. If he sees his shadow, it's six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, it's an early spring. This traces back to German folklore...that if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on February 2 - the Christian holiday of Candlemas - winter will drag on.

Perhaps it's just me, but why don't they flip flop what seeing or not seeing his shadow means. Folklore, schmolklore. Nobody knows why they do that anyway. It's all about whether Phil's correct or not, right?

That's 30% better than the local weather guys.

Yeah if he is wrong, he should get shot. Same goes for meteorologists, what a bunch of worthless asses.

If the groundhog gets shot, according to old German folklore, it means 12 more weeks of Winter. . . . .

Should they change what seeing or not seeing Phil's shadow means?
