Groundhog Weather Prognostication is all about whether they see their shadows or not. See shadow, six more weeks of winter. No shadow, early spring.

There's an older English couplet that says the same thing, basically:

If Candlemas dawns fair and bright, winter takes another flight.
If Candlemas dawns cloud and rain, winter shall not come again.

(I've never seen the Groundhog Day movie all the way through)
