When he came out for Groundhog Day 2015, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. According to the tradition, this means that there will be six more weeks of winter. However, we could still see an early spring as Phil’s predictions have an accuracy of 40%, reports The Weather Channel.

Punxsutawney Phil wasn’t the only one making predictions for Groundhog Day 2015. Several other famous groundhogs also stepped out to give their weather insight. The group was almost even in their predictions of the weather, The Weather Channel notes.

Punxsutawney Phil has been handling Groundhog Day for quite some time now. The tradition started in America 129 years ago. Prior to this, it was a German tradition that used a hedgehog to predict the weather, reports PennLive.com
