Its an Old German superstition that has become tradition in the states. The tradition is if a hibernating animal like the groundhog sees its shadow on February 2nd, winter will last for 6 more weeks. If the groundhog does not see its shadow, spring will come earlier that year.
So, Phil saw his shadow and winter will last for 6 more weeks. Happy Groundhogs Day!
PS. In 6 weeks its March 21, the first day of Spring making the prediction the same both ways. Still, its cute and fun.
