ChescoWx

A prolonged stretch of well below normal temperatures are likely across our area for at least the next 2 weeks. In fact, with the exception of Thursday where temperatures will moderate to above normal (around 40 degrees) we may not see another day this month with afternoon high temperatures above freezing. Temperatures tonight should fall to near 10 degrees with highs tomorrow struggling to top 20 degrees. Temperatures by Wednesday morning will be close to zero in the typical colder valley locations. Even colder weather moves in by the weekend with high temperatures on Saturday remaining around the mid-teens with lows by Sunday morning again near zero. Our next chance of snow looks like it will be possible toward the end of next weekend.

Dahua is the brand...

Not sure many folks here in the western burbs of philly had 8.5" of snow on their bingo card for this weekend. But with our at 7pm 2.0" additional snow here in East Nantmeal that is indeed where we are at. It is still snowing lightly here at 7pm with the temp down to 25.2 degrees. The seasonal snowfall is now at 21.2" which is double our normal snowfall through today here in Chesco. We average in a typical winter season only 36.0" of snow.

Snow has really picked up now moderate to heavy with the temp down to 27.3 roads across the area are now all snow covered. 2026-01-18_17-31-52.mp4

Snow has started again here in East Nantmeal temp at 31.3 degrees.

Shovel of today's round 1 done - Latest HRRR with it's take on round 2 this PM. Not sure if we get that much back this far west. Still some very light snow falling and a temp at 31.1 with the 2.0" this AM up to 6.5" in the last 2 days and 19.3" for the season to date. Can we get enough later to hit the 20" mark?

A new 1.0" of snow so far here in East Nantmeal with steady snow falling and a temperature at 28.5 degrees

As of 710am a new 1.0" of snow so far here in East Nantmeal - temperature at 28.5 degrees all surfaces re-covered.

Steve great post!! The main point for folks if they like winter weather is that this has been a much different winter season then we have seen for many years. While no one knows if all this cold and pretty consistent below normal temps for the last many months ends in a lot of snow is unknown. So if you measure great winters by snow totals you could be disapointed as snow take a lot of timing in any spots outside of the lakes or mountains of New England here in the Northeast.

We ended up with 4.5" here in East Nantmeal with our 9th winter event of the season. Total snow fall this month is 5.6" which is 2.4" above normal for the 2025-26 season we have received 17.3" which is exactly 7.0" above normal through today.

4.5" here in East Nantmeal as of 12noon with another 1.0" since 11am

Simply cyclical climate swings again nothing to see here....

Because as the chart clearly shows they are of course not warming at the same rate....PHL is exceeding as you would expect the warming at what we would expect at a non-UHI site.

Uh global warming uh climate change rearing it's ugly head again!

Actually here in the Chesco only 1.5 AN....we appear heading for our 4th straight below normal temperature month and 5th out of the last 6 months - that is impressive in our current warm cycle...suspect we may be trending to our next cooling cycle.

It looks like those are the adjusted altered figures....slope is wrong on the above

So my climate pair....one of these things is not warming like the other....wonder why?
