ChescoWx Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Just had our first albeit brief snow shower pass through NW Chesco in the last few minutes. Sun is back out and the temperature is 45.4 DP at 32.1. See some additional activity on radar - it will be interesting to see if that is also snow in other spots today.

KamuSnow Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Drove through a rain shower this afternoon (around 4:45 pm) near Newtown Square and had some snow mixed with the rain splatting on the windshield at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Great day for virga across the area yesterday. A couple of showers of rain, soft hail and snow in NW Chesco. When the snow first started it was 49.1 degrees, the warmest I've ever seen it snow. Huge snowflakes that splattered when they hit. Hopefully this October snow doesn't jinx the rest of the winter. 28.6 degrees this morning with an icy deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could help with the myth busting this winter. 1979 and 2011 bad winters 2009 good winter 2015? 2008 we had a bout of freezing rain and ice pellets before Halloween that was an average winter.

Birds~69 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 winter's over, october snow I was thinking the same. Many of us get excited because of early flakes....then when winter actually happens, torch and nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Somebody should go back and research anomalous October cold outbreaks and the following winter seems to me snow is too narrow a criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 October snow generally doesn't bode well for winter weather enthusiasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Agreed, Ralph! I don't know if there's any meteorologic support for it, but it seems accumulating snows prior to Thanksgiving is a bad sign (2011, 2008, 1989, 1987, just to think of a few off the top of my head). But dustings or light coatings in late Nov can be a good sign -- 1995, 2010 and 2013 come to mind. My own weenie rule of thumb is: No snows of greater than 2" prior to 12/5.
