KamuSnow Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Seems like this trend was real... don't think PHL will touch 60 today. Still at 51 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Still at 51 here. I guess there's still a modest chance but seems to me the odds are below 50% now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Better bring it inside or pick it :-) Oh that's okay, I'm sure he has dozens of friends waiting to pop up in April. Anyway ... 49.3F here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields27 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 46.6F I just love to see a January torch fail. Agreed, only made it to 42* here. Going to be a cold week with a couple shots at snow. Little optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 We have to watch for Friday clipper impulse to trend wetter, and some overrunning action next weekend. With a ton of luck we get three events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 We have to watch for Friday clipper impulse to trend wetter, and some overrunning action next weekend. With a ton of luck we get three events. We'll find out if "it wants to snow" during the 1st 2 weeks of January. Yesterday as a tentative yes, or a maybe anyway.

Fields27 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Temp continued to climb to 46* and is still there. But I can hear the wind starting to pick up and the is now coming from the north. Let the temp drop commence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Looking more and more like some snow showers or even a period of very light snow Friday morning as another Arctic front settles South. Maybe we can squeeze a nice squall out of it for a quick coating to 1"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This should be the Philly areas wikipedia entry for an 80's winter: Ample cold enough to snow with near or below normal temperatures Cold dry stretches punctuated by cutters or storms off the Carolina or Virginia coast that rarely hugged the coast north Monthly snowfall December 2" January 8" February 3" March 4" Winter average 17" Biggest storm of the winter would be 4-6" Thankfully clippers happened more often back then or those winters would have averaged 8" That is what I think of as an 80's winter when all of 1987 and the blizzard of 1983 is removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out Feb 83 and 87 what do we have for that month It goes significantly lower... though the December and Feb numbers from the current period would go down significantly if you removed Dec 09 and Feb 10.

Let's not do the 90's minus 94 and 96. The numbers would be similar though temperatures a good 3F warmer...I might throw up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Out and about in the Horsham, Upper Moreland and Willow Grove areas (SE Montgomery County). Brine is down in certain areas...gusty and sometimes howling winds...33.8. Two inches, wind and cold temps from this thing and I'll be thrilled....

Lol. Those were my prime childhood and teen years. Might as well have lived in Cape May then and up north the past 20 years, instead of the opposite. I was too young to really enjoy those winters of the late 70s. I remember them, but was just 5 or 6 years old. After 1978's blizzard, my friends and I made caves in the snow drifts.

I fortunately got to enjoy 93, 94, 96 during my teens. I'm sure that plays a role as to why I'm in this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmorninglight Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Smells like snow. Even if we only get an inch or so it will feel like winter all week. Some years we don't even get that down here. Hideous 97-98, 01-02, 11-12 to name the most recent winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hideous 97-98, 01-02, 11-12 to name the most recent winters. For those three winters I TOTALED 7.7". Yuk!
