Groundhog Day - sun would have allowed for morning shadow

As this, February 2, is Groundhog Day 2019, we hope to have action pictures coming in. There's no question but what he would have seen his shadow in the sun of this morning in Adair County, so what's that mean here?

Grandparents always say that if the shadow is present on this day, it means there will be six weeks of bad winter weather to come.

And then there's this weather comment from JIM:
"February will be a month of storms -- violent storms and blizzards, wind, rain, sleet, and snow will prevail, covering the entire country. The precipitation during the month will be the heaviest known in years, and will consist principally of sleet and snow, accompanied at times by heavy gales. The rainfall will be light and of short duration, except over the Southern and Gulf States." (Transcribed from the February 3, 1904 edition of the Adair County News.)
