What does it mean if the groundhog sees his shadow?

As the legend goes, if Phil sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, an early spring is in store.  

Phil doesn't have the best track record, but that hasn't stopped this quirky tradition. This will be the 134th Groundhog Day celebration, according to The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club. 

Last year, Phil predicted a rare early spring. You can also check out every past prediction here
