Punxsutawney Phil 2010: Did the Groundhog See His Shadow? (VIDEO)

The groundhog has spoken, and the outlook is bleak.  At 7:25 a.m. EST, Phil did see his shadow, which means another six weeks of cold, winter weather.

According to German tradition, if a hibernating animal sees its own shadow on February 2nd, winter will last for six more weeks. If no shadow is seen, then, according to the legend, spring will arrive early.  Not this year, though.
