Hurricane Agnes Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I wouldn't completely count out "spring snow" but that will depend on what this La Nina ENSO state does.. Last day of February had a low of 28 and high of 38. As an obs in the new season, it's currently 33 with dp up from yesterday's low 10s, at 21.

penndotguy Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I’m thinking the shade has been pulled down on the snow chances for this season, can it still snow? Yes but it’s been dreadful out this way I’m ready for the severe weather at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Here in Western Chester County PA the December through February months of 2021-22 ended as the 26th warmest December thru February Period. Of note 17 of these warmest periods have occurred since 1960 - with 13 of these warmest periods prior to 1960. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Interesting that as my Facebook weather members has continued to grow....it has been noticed by the powers that be at Facebook! I had no idea that when you reach a certain level of "community significance" LOL - we require more protection. This little side project has far exceeded my expectations and has grown beyond just Chester County. I guess a lot more folks are as Ben Franklin said - "weather wise and not otherwise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I think the first 10 days of this month will be snowless. A better pattern may establish itself after the 10th-15th but by then, you really need a lot of things to go right in order to get a decent event that isn't white rain. I wouldn't totally say winter is over but it's likely on life support. Would be nice to see a 6" storm to get me to average though. Hope for a weak Nino next winter...

ChescoWx Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Below is an analysis of the average temperature history by decade of our winter months of December, January and February here in the philly burbs of Western Chester County. As always our climate is very cyclical in it's warming and cooling cycles. By decade we have had 6 decades with increased average temps vs the prior decade and 5 decades with colder temps than the prior decade. Of note the 3 coldest DJF decades occurred during our last cold cycle in the 1960's through the 1980's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Guidance going all out brutal cold mid month, just what I wanted after a dud winter with half normal snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenCtyWx Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I would take brutal cold if it meant a half decent event. Otherwise bring on spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Winter-ish tomorrow (w/some winds) and Friday (low 40s highs/overnight lows, teens/low 20s)...record potential highs Sun/Mon for Philly. Sun record high: 71F / Predicted high 71F Mon record high: 74F / Predicted high 71F Don't care about snow any longer because it's useless this time of year. All it does is make the townships throw down more brine/salt even though it won't stick anyways...don't need it. I'll take brutal below normal temps through Sept... 44F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTN is poping at something around the 14th. Not sure how much cold air is there for support. Looks like a paste job at best. Typical March with 70 one day and 30 the next.

Hurricane Agnes Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 After a low of 37 this morning and some damp walks from the clipper passing by to the north (although no measurable precip), I made it up to 48 as a high. I could tell when the cold front came through this morning because from that point on, the dp was on its downward trend. It's currently 37 with dp 7 so that is pretty significant change from the 42 earlier today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Got down to 15.2°F this morning. Hard to believe it's supposed to be 73 just two days from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 24.4°F right now at almost 1:30am. Forecast high for Sunday is 74 and Monday is 75. That's weird, right? I feel like that should be May weather. I mean, at least it's supposed to go back down into the 50s afterwards, but still. Do not like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusual but we won't get close to the daily records here in Chester County - Tomorrow and Monday are both record highs of 75 - recorded in 1946 and 1921 respectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Ended up hitting a high of 39 yesterday after a low of 21 for the day. This morning's low was 26 and it's currently overcast and 42, with dp 26. Couple day warm up coming and that might trigger my crocuses to do something (their little grassy leaves have been up for awhile and the snowdrops are still going).

Ralph Wiggum Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 This would be an amazing finish to winter and push many above normal for the year. Several runs in a row and the gefs are hinting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 And poof! 0z GFS ditched the storm (looks to be a run-of-the-mill frontal passage), although the 6z now has a coastal. As an obs - I made it up to 54 yesterday as a high and after a 41 low this morning, it's currently overcast and 45 with dp 43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
