My good friend Joe Calderone at the National Weather Service in Charleston found this interesting bit of weather trivia for me dealing with Super Bowl weather.
Also thanks to William Schmitz from the Southeast Regional Climate Center for sending this Joe’s way in the first place. Might be some good trivia to ask your Super Bowl party goers before, during, and after the game…..Hey, who needs those crazy commercials to keep you interested?????
