Ok, I knew about that, but I thought the shadow thing referenced something more historic.

It’s a joke. It follows the groundhog story. The groundhog sees its shadow and it means we have 6 more weeks of winter. It’s just a dumb thing but this joke is based on that.

The shadow thing refers to a North American tradition:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day

Groundhog Day is a tradition observed regionally in the United States and Canada on February 2 of every year. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, it will retreat to its den and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early.

USA tradition, if the groundhog sees it's shadow, there will be X more weeks of winter.

Sadly, not many people get to be in their 90's. We'll just have to remember this orange turd as the biggest idiot ever.

The result entirely depends on who's reliving that day until they have its best possible outcome. Watch Edge of Tomorrow for a documentary of how that happens.
