Sure - but a lot of facts are intentionally buried because they don't meet the narrative (on both sides), which IMO is irresponsible in todays society that unfortunately gets their news from solely reading headlines.
Based on a ridiculously small sample size of data considering the history of weather on this planet it's a worthless indicator, and is far more likely a coincidence than anything.
In this day in age of access to actual real degreed Mets (unlike Palka) and real time model information, I have no idea why any weather enthusiast would give 2 sh*ts about what the local tv station says.
