Groundhog Day!

With ground hog day being tomorrow. It's important to know who you're looking at for your season forecast. for instance, Ricky has General Beauregard Lee PhD- down in Georgia.
It's important to know how completely backwards this whole seeing of the shadow thing is.
-----If he see's the shadow because it's sunny- means there's more winter.
-----If he does not see his shadow - means that spring is on it's way.
one would think that because he saw his shadow (sun= warmer weather) it would be an early spring.

{correct me if i am wrong but isn't it six of one half dozen of another?}
