What is what does it mean when a groundhog sees his shadow?

According to folklore, if a <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/groundhog%20sees%20his%20shadow">groundhog sees his shadow</a> on <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Groundhog%20Day">Groundhog Day</a>, which is celebrated on February 2nd, it means there will be six more weeks of winter.

This belief stems from the idea that the clear weather which allows the groundhog to see its shadow, is an indication of a cold, late winter. Conversely, if the groundhog does not see its shadow due to cloudy conditions, it is said that spring will arrive early.
