Groundhog Day 2023: Did Punxsutawney Phil predict more winter or an early spring?

It’s February 2, which means it’s that annual tradition that’s extremely quirky (although it made for a fantastic movie): Groundhog Day, in which a group gets Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog out from his home and waits to see if it sees its shadow or not.

If he sees his shadow, it’s six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, Spring will start early. Why? I don’t know. But that’s the tradition and that’s the only way to explain it.

Anyway! You’re here because you’re wondering: Did Phil see his shadow or not?

The answer is: He did. We get more winter. Boo.
