Groundhog Thought

If the Groundhog gets knocked out by flying ice chunks, does it count that he doesn't see his shadow?

Note:  Some day this will really need explanation so here it is:  Central Ohio was hit by an ice storm in the morning hours of February 2, 2011.  Subsequent warming and windy weather, caused chunks of ice to fly and hit things.  Anyone, or anything, outside at the rising of the sun would have been, likely, hit by debris.
