ChescoWx Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I went back and analyzed the records for High Elevations in Chester County (1983-Present) If we hit the NWS forecast low here tonight it will be coldest so early (18 years) since November 16, 1996 when the low was 16.0. If the low goes below 16.0 it would be the 3rd coldest November morning in the entire 31 year dataset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmorninglight Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I think in these more recent decades, this kind of cold, this early, is unusual. Looking at KNYC stats, it apprears that Noverber has seen the most dramatic increases since the 19th century. It's nice to see this buck the trend.

KamuSnow Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Seems pretty unusual to me, without doing any research. The expected duration is as impressive as the temperatures. I've got 2 piles of leaves from late Sunday that are probably frozen to the ground and will probably still be icy on the bottom when I go to move them this coming weekend. Not as impressive as 70 inches of snow, but hey.... If it wasn't so breezy tonight we'd likely have a decent shot at more records. As it is it's dropping oh so slowly here, 23F currently, down from a high of 31F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Nice write-up on cold snap by Tony Wood. This cold snap is very unusual but not unprecedented. Note 1880 has the record phl lows of 14, 10 and 16 on Nov 22-24. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/weather/November-cold-fleeting.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 We did indeed hit a low this AM of 16.1 in NW Chesco for the coldest November reading in 18 years! Pretty impressive early cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
