Many event-goers put a lot of faith in the predictions of good old Phil. But unfortunately, it seems he is more often wrong than right. According to studies based on Phil’s predictions, along with the weather patterns that follow, it seems Phil’s predictions receive an accuracy rate of only 39 percent.
Regardless, putting the blame for Phil’s inaccuracy solely on him seems to be less than fair, as he relies on his handlers — referred to as the Inner Circle — to convey to the crowd whether he has officially viewed his shadow. Perhaps he is a little more accurate, but it gets lost in interpretation. No matter what the case may be, the festivities and fun surrounding the event make it worth seeing, despite its questionable accuracy.
