Phil sees shadow as winter sticks around amid mixed February forecasts
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog Day 2026, signaling six more weeks of winter, even as other forecasters warn of a frigid February in the eastern half of the U.S. and milder, West-leaning conditions overall; Buckeye Chuck predicts an early spring for Ohio with no shadow, Georgia’s General Beauregard Lee sees a shadow indicating longer winter there, and NOAA emphasizes winter isn’t over yet.
