Only a 100 miles from a decent enough winter. Yup seems like the corridor from Johnstown thru Williamsport on northeast of there have been in a good spot this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 0.23" of rain since yesterday with today being our 4th straight day with measurable rain total over those days is 1.10" month to date at 2.22" and YTD 6.13" vs normal through today of 5.17". Normal snow for the season to date through today is 24.0" - snow so far this season just 5.8" just 24% of normal. If we are finished with snow this season this will be the 3rd least snow ever recorded in Chester County since 1894. Behind only 1972-3 - with no snow and 1949-50 with just 2.4" for snow less bragging rights! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Winter 2019-2020 is just the 7th winter on record that has seen Philadelphia receive less than 2" seasonal snowfall through February 14. 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. Below is a chart that illustrates mean and +/- 3 sigma cumulative snowfall amounts based on the 0.3" that has fallen to date for those six cases. The 3 sigma upper limit based on those 6 cases is 11.3". Statistically, there would be a 1-in-741 chance that this value would be reached or exceeded. *-The - sigma value has been constrained to that it cannot fall below the 0.3" seasonal snowfall to date. That value would imply no measurable snowfall for the remainder of winter 2019-2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, 29F on my cell as well. Yeah, it's actually exciting w/the cold and some wind. More clouds than expected....certainly not sunny. If we could just eek out one 3-6"/4-8" storm I'll be happy. I feel like it's a long Fall season and Winter hasn't begun but in reality Spring is right around the corner.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the relationship for this summer (temp wise) following a blowtorch winter? If any? I'd gladly punt this winter for a cooler than normal Summer. Add numerous T-Storms and I'm all in.

A very warm winter has had a higher frequency of warm summers in Philadelphia. Based on data from winters 1873-74 to the 2018-19, the historic summer average temperature was 74.9°. Warm summers were as follows: Above the historic mean: 45% 1° or more above the historic mean: 25% 2° or more above the historic mean: 12% In the 19 cases where the December-February mean temperature was 38.0° or above (2019-20 was averaging 39.6° through 2/13), the mean summer temperature was 76.1°. Warm summers were as follows: Above the historic mean: 79% (1.8X the historic frequency) 1° or more above the historic mean: 53% (2.1X the historic frequency) 2° or more above the historic mean: 32% (2.6X the historic mean and more frequent than the historic figure for 1° or more above the historic mean) All said, if the above data is representative, summer 2020 will likely be warmer and possibly much warmer than normal. The evolution of ENSO will have an important impact. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 ^ Thanks Don. Not the news I wanted hear though. Hopefully we go against the odds and not have a long hot summer. It would only be fair after our current disappointing winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've done a snow dance or two in my life. Or alternately, the idea of things balancing out is still valid. I believe strongly that we will see snow again, maybe even 6" of snow during met winter! Soon, but not yet. There's also the wtf factor (lol).

Not looking forward to a hot summer, but we might be "due", I mean like extended periods in mid 90s and higher, with humidity of course. Hopefully not! One of these years we'll have some snow and it will be awesome. A 2013 - 2014 redux would be nice....even 1/2 of that. You know it's bad when the idea of grading the winter doesn't even come up, lol.

No way around it...it's a solid F to this point. (way above avg temps/way below avg snowfall) At least w/a potential HHH summer there's a good chance of severe weather which is fun to track.
