Looks like the greatest trained spotter report so far from our "event" today has been the 1.0" up in Hudsondale in Carbon County. Most spots so far have reported between 0.3" to 0.8" across our area. I just submitted my 0.8" snow total to The NWS for here in East Nantmeal Township

Another 0.25" so up to 0.5" for the day with our 14th Winter "Event" - the hits just keep on coming in this winter of non stop hits!!

Steady snow continues temp 20.5 all roads are covered.

Sun angle effect waning rapidly here in EN driveway coated!! Temp 22.2

Aleet! Aleet!! I love the fact he used it 2x so I am never sure if this was like his many typos or something else.....LOL!

No argument today as the rates were not heavy enough today.....which is why we measure on a white snowboard and measure before it melts or compacts between bands.

My point is only that rates will overcome "sun angle" every time. I have seen snow accumulate easily at 33 degrees in April on roads with heavy snow after a day before in the low 60's with full sunshine. It is an overrated fear of snow weenies IMHO!

As has sun angle.....

Steady snow continues here in East Nantmeal so far today I have measured 0.3" of snow this brings our seasonal total up to 20.7" of snow. This is 78% of our average snow for the season through today which is 26.4"

Small accumulation here in East Nantmeal

Our 14th Winter "Event" underway here in East Nantmeal. Temp at 22.0 - coating on the deck. Fortunately it looks like the roads are in good shape and hoping they stay that way through rush hour!!

Some scattered snow showers are possible this afternoon into the evening with our 14th Winter "Event" of the 2024-25 Season. Any accumulation will be less than 0.5" in most spots. Today will be our 30th below freezing high temperature of the season - for reference last season we only saw 19 such days. We should rise to near freezing tomorrow and moderate to near normal temperatures this weekend. The last week of February should see slightly above normal temperatures before we fall back below normal by the last day of February and start March a little chillier than average. There are almost no precipitation chances after today for the next week. We could use some rain or snow!

Lows this morning were more than 10 degrees below normal for late February. The coldest spot was here in East Nantmeal at 11.8 degrees. A few more well below normal days with high temperatures remaining below freezing until Saturday. We should start a nice moderating trend that will get us to near normal to above temperatures to close out the month of February. Below normal temperatures look to return as we start the March. Precipitation wise we could use a little snow or rain as we are running at only about 70% of normal melted snow/rain so far here in 2025. Unfortunately, only some flurries are possible tomorrow and maybe some showers by Monday evening.

Just north of your area in SE PA but I always show how cyclical the snow patterns have been back to the 1890's...if you came of age in the 2000-2020 decades you are used to big snows almost every year.....

Overall we were just starting the warming cycle rebounding from our coldest decade ever in the 1970's....while warmer than the 70's snowfall increased almost 11" on average during the decade of the 1980's. While it was snowier it was not nearly as snowy as our last 2 complete decades (2000's /2010's)

If you think this has been an unusually cold winter you would be correct! We are trending toward the top 15 coldest winter in the last 50 years here in Chester County. The pattern continues well below normal temperatures for the rest of this work week. We finally return to near normal temperatures early next week. We look dry for the rest of this week with the exception of a chance of flurries on Thursday. The good news on the drought front is we are running above normal in precipitation so far this month, however it does not look that wet as we close out February and move into the first week of the first month of spring.

Similiar here in Chesco - 13 winter events with 20.4" of snow....but have only used my snow blower for 2 "plowable" events 5.3" on Jan 19th and 3.3" on Feb 11-12

I think we have one elevation driven snow event left in March....which would have to be around 15" to get Chester County to normal (35") for the season....I am not optimistic!!

We have to follow the facts and the science - that is all we have!!

30 year average just like our temperature averages

I don't think it matters that I am a Libertarian or Republican or Democrat or whatever you are - I don't care about anyone's political affiliation! The discussion above in non-political of course!! It is facts and that is all. I have no clue why you think the facts above are some how political??
