As for Pux-whatever Phil, the prediction never made sense to me.
Sees his shadow, more winter. If it’s sunny, you’d think that’s a good thing, a harbinger of early spring.
Dreary, cloudy, no shadow. That sounds more like a gloomy sign of extended winter.
Yet Phil is just the opposite. What a convoluted creature.
It's related to an old poem. Here are a couple of versions:

I think the idea is that if it's still bright and cold, winter isn't over, but if it's warmer and cloudy, we're closer to spring.
