It will likely fail but there is a chance we thread the needle. I mean we're due right? More wet flakes mixing here at the moment. Looks like some more snow showers back building. We take.

Getting a snow shower here too, 39F. Cool, had a tornado warning in the morning and snow in the afternoon! I wonder if that's in the Wiggum rule handbook? Also, that's the 2nd tornado warning here in 4 months lol - November and February. Whodathunkit? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Looks like a semi-decent clump of snow forming to the W. I should receive a little something from that...won't stick but will be cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Didn't think the storms were all that bad IMBY yesterday, but I was wrong. My end of the street is fine, but a few 100 yards at the other end, these's a downed tree, utility pole and plenty of large limbs. I've seen the same thing driving around the Lansdale/Towamecin area today. Not sure how I lucked out w/o any damage, but glad I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Had that fluke in Jan 2016 not occurred, we would be going on 6 straight met winters with 0 snow events >6". 7 out 10 met winters this decade featured no snow events > 6". PHL is now in their 4th straight met winter with zero snow events >6" with the largest snowfall being 4.1". A similar met winter drought came in the late 80's/early 90's. The winter's of 87-88, 88-89, 89-90, 90-91, 91-92, 92-93, 93-94 all did not record a single snowfall > 6" during met winter. Hopefully we are not in a repeat of that cycle...

Go back farther....there was a stretch I remember reading that was most of the 70s same thing. Was like a 12 year run with one storm >6" or something crazy. This is the norm actually.....those runs where we have blizzard years consecutively etc are the true flukes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Winter 2019-2020 became the 7th winter on record that saw Philadelphia receive less than 2" seasonal snowfall through February 12. Mean total snowfall for the 6 prior cases was 3.8" vs. the historic mean figure of 22.6". In addition, 100% of such winters wound up with less than 10" seasonal snowfall vs. 16% of winters in the historic record. The snowiest case from those prior winters was 1931-32 with 8.0" seasonal snowfall. Winter 2019-2020 is also only the 3rd winter on record to receive less than 1" seasonal snowfall through February 12. The others were 1972-73 (0.0") and 1997-98 (0.7").
