Groundhog Day 2018 weather: What was the weather like when Phil made his prediction?

Update: On Groundhog Day 2018, Phil has seen his shadow and predicted 6 more weeks of winter.

--

The meteorologists thought that Phil would predict an early spring on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2. They were wrong.

According to the legend:

If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring.

Is the tradition scientific? Absolutely not.

Are there other furry, weather-predicting animals? Certainly.
