Weather ? WEATHER ? ? ? Ya call that weather ? ? ? ? This is what we call weather up here.
Even the wildlife is thinkin' 'bout some heavy hibernatin' right now.
Mind you, we'll be back up to 48° F in a few days.

In the teens F and sunny today. These were from a couple of days ago, the temperature was shared with me by someone else on the morning that we were going to be skiing…
John ... Play nice.
Stuart Newspaper had a below the fold article about how the El Nino, which I guess they think is happening, is responsible for the wet weather we're having here in Florida. And it is pretty wet - for the "Dry" season.
What say our weather gurus?

These are from last weekend….checked on my boat (on the hard for the winter). Temps were around -5F.
Lake Michigan temp around 32, not frozen except in the marina. Water “steams” in the frigid air temps.
Headed to Hawaii Saturday until it warms up

Here are the Winter weather patterns that develop when the ENSO current pattern develops in the Pacific called El Niño.
Wintertime El Nino weather patterns Average location of the Pacific and Polar Jet Streams and typical temperature and precipitation impacts during the winter over North America. (NOAA)
We live on a big planet. It takes time for the results ie. “wet winters in Florida” to develop. The measurements of the sea temp in the center tropical ENSO currents that identify an El Niño event were occurring over the last spring and Summer of 2023. A more complete discussion of El Niño can be found here. https://www.noaa.gov/understanding-el-nino
We can visualize the Jet Streams on Windy. While they normally blow west to east with a bit of a wave. El Niño years change that.
Betty Davis may have said it best.

Seems like El Niňo is moving further south each year. I remember when it was further north the Santa Ana fires developed due o the El Niňo effects from the high winds.
I will admit, my sweat glands have had a seriously good work-out down here.
I'm a bit concerned about my ability to withstand cold on the trip to the Chesapeake as I'll arrive there towards the end of March. I'm hoping for an early spring.
I've realized I have now been in warm and increasingly warmer temperatures for many months now and my body is becoming well adapted to the heat. The trip North will be way to fast for the body to adjust.... Ah, the pain of returning...

@Tally Ho , howzabout taking some of this cold weather with you ?Headed to Hawaii Saturday until it warms up
You walked your boat three miles?! That's impressive!
It sure wood be in the snow! I don't even think I could tow the thing 3 miles with everything being frozen down right now. I can't complain it's not been near as cold or as snowy as many other years up here. so far we have only had about a week of sub zero highs total! Normally it would be a couple weeks by now. The boat is certainly enjoying a well deserved rest. That 'ol' gal sees somewhere around 5000 road miles a year and hundreds of sailing miles! Spring starts with a trip to Detroit for sailing on Lake St. Claire and summer will end with a cruise on Superior for the Apostle Islands again.
