Bottomed out at 41 this morning and am off to the races at 56 at post time, with dp 49 and overcast with a thick layer of high clouds.   And yup, the area is under a Wind Advisory.  I also saw that Mt. Holly mentioned some records that might be challenged today (also saw it mentioned in the AFT Climo section) -

Going to enjoy this today....maybe give the 4runner a rinse....thinking about running out when the downpours start and washing then and allow mother nature to do the rinse part. Then again, may wait as end of next week looks like a window with strong HP in upper NY state wedging down east of the apps. Might be a fun frozen event. Then another threat early March. Winter hasn't bid us farewell just yet guys....not by a long shot. Most widespread cold air to the N this time of the year that I can recall tbh. If ever we were going to delay spring and keep tracking, this is the year.

upcoming pattern late month into early March is kinda similar to March 15... heights are more focused in the Alaska domain though which should provide more cold air... we made out like bandits during that time period

Feels amazing!

Opened my windows/sunroof in my car as well to freshen it up. Have my cell alarm set for 5pm to close the windows/sunroof. I could easily see myself forgetting and the inside of the car is a pool tomorrow morning.

65F/Gusty

*Think Philly's record is 67/68F....may tie/break it since they're at 66F @2:20pm

Looks like I topped out at 65.  So far KPHL has tied the record (68F).  Currently overcast, stormy-looking and 64 with dp 52.

I did see this mention from Mt. Holly about "wet" walks that might have been observed this morning and that answered my question wondering about that since I experienced it here -
