JI is one of the founding fathers of this type of board....he knows a lot more about weather than he lets on and like you said, enjoys the attention of being the funny guy. Dude monetized his weather skill so have to give props there.
Borrowed this from the MA board. A comment was made there about how this is not an El Nino result but think it is too small of a sample size to have too much concern about that.
Your Florida reference rings true down there. If the team has not won a championship in the last year, it is not good enough for many of those fans. They do not care that all the other teams never get to do what they did.
Sunny Florida hosts the wettest large city in the US for 2023 so far....also hosts one of the driest across the peninsula in Tampa/St Pete.

Seems like lots of mini-inversions scattered around now as several places dropped a degree or two since I checked an hour or two ago. Guessing that 53 temp is an error but the mid and low 40's are legit.
Well below freezing type cold air really cut off south of Harrisburg. Plenty of 40's to the south right now. It is 42 down below me in the valley/Waynesboro. Shorts and short sleeve day.
