Groundhog Day 6am Sunrise might not be a mistake

The sun rises at 7:25 am in Punxsutawney, PA on 2/2. When Phil (Bill Murray) wakes every time at 6:00am the sun is shining. This ultra obvious “mistake” is frequently called out.

However! It has to be a red herring. Each time he wakes he has a shadow, signifying there’s more groundhog days to come, just like when Phil (the groundhog) would see his shadow.

Phil (Bill, who shares the name with the rodent) is the groundhog seeing his shadow and winter never ends.
