phlwx Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Will Philly ever go below zero again? Possible but we need an early 80's or 94 style airmass to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainshadow Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Possible but we need an early 80's or 94 style airmass to get there. And deep snow cover. Although those early 80s air masses were so cold.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainshadow Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I wonder if some of those "northern" solutions verify on Friday at what temperature would freezing rain stop occurring after a week like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phlwx Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I wonder if some of those "northern" solutions verify on Friday at what temperature would freezing rain stop occurring after a week like this. was wondering that too. especially since there's no snow on the ground for much of us...ground will be nice and chilled.

JTA66 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Just shy of 50 -- sitting at 49.7. Let the downward plunge begin! I'm so looking forward to shocking myself every time I touch something metallic in the days ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yup. Just hit 51 degrees up here. So sad that it'll be the last time that happens for awhile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Looking over current trends right now it appears to me that our brutal arctic push is moving more east than south.. and in some cases east-northeast with the most brutal air this would change everything... our coldest weather in 5 years would be very muted and shallow at best if this trend continues... Case in point look out in the Plains cold is not really moving south but east you can see it on the temperature profiles clearly seen on the water vapor map too... and look at that a low on the southern branch moving towards the Baja... hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 5 years??? We were in the single digits just two years ago. phlwx had a good graphic about this... (hope he doesn't mind me posting it here) our coldest weather in 5 years would be very muted and shallow at best if this trend continues...

snowlurker Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 what arctic blast? It went up to 62° in Middletown, DE AFTER the gusts hit here. not at all what I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Don't mind at all...the hype really needs to get toned down. It's going to be cold but the talk from some in the media and the snake oil salesmen of "coldest since 07 or beyond" is absurd given January 2011 was pretty damn cold.

greg ralls Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I remember that cold spell in 1994 vividly. It was only a little over a mile, but I had to walk to & from work at QVC in West Chester from New Kent Apartments. Wowie zowie was that ever cold! Here's hoping I get to experience something even remotely like that again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping I get to experience something even remotely like that again soon. Back on this date in 1985 we were up vacationing in Pocono's at Emerald Lakes & it was -20 at neighboring MPO with wind. Downright nasty, coldest weather I ever experienced in the Mt. Holly forecast area and the worst part was the temperature basically never budged all day - stayed in the negative teens all afternoon. Vicious cold....
