Feel like we need to get lucky with something the first week of December or snow for the month will end anemic. No pressure now...

 

Also think the Chicago record snow is an omen of good things to come in Jan-Feb

Any reasoning behind the Chicago connection or is it just your gut feel?

Interesting that PHL hasn't yet made it down to 32 this season.  Looks like it is going to break the record for the latest first freeze, which is currently 11/28 back in 2010.

For the airport, yes.  The city site's latest before they moved to the airport was 12/11/1939.  Urban heat island continues to expand.  Also interesting, DCA hit freezing the other morning, beating PHL.  1981-2010 mean at PHL is 11/6, at DCA its 11/18.

Interesting that Media Delaware County has been below freezing 3 times already and was down to 26 this week. We are only 13 miles or so from the airport. Heat island in effect and also lots of warm waters around the airport

Media isn't as urban as you might think... the Google imagery really shows how much more rural it is, by comparison to PHL and Center City.

This is very true.... I work 2 miles from the airport and the weather between the airport and Media when we are talking about marginal temps or change over rain to snow can be quite dramatic sometimes too.
