For 2011, no, which means "spring is right around the corner."

Since 1887 Punxsutawney Phil has: * Seen his shadow 97 times * Not seen his shadow 15 times * No recorded record 9 times
This myth is part of the folklore associated with Groundhog's Day. There is no way to know for sure whether or not a groundhog recognizes its shadow.
The groundhog did indeed see his shadow and there will be six more weeks of winter.
The groundhog's shadow is determined by the weather conditions on February 2nd, known as Groundhog Day. If it is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow, which according to tradition means there will be six more weeks of winter. Conversely, if it is cloudy and the groundhog does not see its shadow, it predicts an early spring. Ultimately, the outcome is based on the interplay of sunlight and the groundhog's behavior on that day.
No. Groundhog Day 2011 took place during a record breaking cold weather. However, contrary to the weather, Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow and predicted an early spring during the year of the "Groundhog Day" storm of 2011.
According to tradition, if the groundhog sees its shadow on Groundhog Day, there will be six more weeks of winter.
