ChescoWx Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Well if you missed it we did get a little snow between about 330am and 5am this morning. We received a whopping 0.2" in East Nantmeal. This is our 6th winter "event" of the season and brings our seasonal total of snow to 2.4". We finished January as the 2nd warmest first month of the year in Chester County history with an average temperature of 39.5 - behind only the 42.2 average temperature recorded in January 1932. It looks dry for at least the next week with colder than normal temperatures through Saturday before warming to above normal once again by Sunday. Both Friday and Saturday will stay well below freezing with lows on Saturday AM in the single digits. The record high for today is 68 degrees from 1989. Our record low is 5 below zero from 1935. Daily melted precipitation record is 2.43" from 1915. Our daily snow record was set just 2 years ago when we were in the middle of a multi-day snowstorm that resulted in the last time we recorded a 12"+ snowstorm here in Chester County PA. Between January 31 through February 3rd we recorded 16.6" of snow with a daily record of 9.3" falling on February 1st following the 4.3" on the 31st. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, my prediction of us getting measurable snowfall last night was not. Radar looked half decent through the night but it just wasn't materializing on the ground. Absolutely nothing at my house. Surprised to hear Nut got some out towards the northeastern part of the county. Well, things look to be a bit boring for a while. Should give me time to present my MU snowfall study that I've been promising for weeks but haven't yet delivered on haha. My wife reports nothing, at least no evidence of snow in Maytown. Also, and this might get lost because of how insignificant last night's "storm" was, but the Euro's late snow salvo failed us. Just noting that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some places were above freezing until not long before dawn, so I guess it is possible some did snow but melted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was gonna take a pic, but it wasnt pic worthy to see white roofs. Meh. I posted obs above from my hood for any that think I'm further off my rocker than previously thought.

pasnownut Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So I'm just gonna throw out that some Ens guidance surely doesnt look like the "end of winter". Snowloversdelight.....hardly....but this looks like winter to me (and I was rather surprised to see this start showing up yesterday). "See saw" temp swings looks appropriate to me. I should be trolled for throwing a post 240 hr map out for disco, so I'll not post further beyond (which looks to warm) as thats way too far out to fret over. heres the opposing view. Not sure how it ends up but as always stated 7 outta 10 times betting warm wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I saw PHL officially recorded .3" of snow, thus ending their streak of consecutive days without measurable snow at 325. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess since were looking for ++'s in this "winter" at least we've not had a shut the shade blow torch...no matter what the temp departures show. When its cold, its moderately cool, and when its warm....its just plain warm. Despite the lack of white, I'm still sorta ok w/ the reality that it's felt like winter frequently. Just doesnt look the part. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like severe and I'm depressed that winter's over and is once again a long way off, so weatherwise...meh.

Itstrainingtime Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Winter in Arkansas this morning - excuse the dumpster. I'm the only one here who raises their wipers. No one from around here has learned this technique apparently. By the way, that's 100% sleet from yesterday's thundersleet storm. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dog passed, so I dont worry about mud like I used to. Only thing worse than a bad winter is a late spring and cold that shoulda been here 2 months earlier than late march/april. Like you...if snow aint stickin....I'll take it but its more of a bittersweet pill to swallow to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Here is some data from Don S for DCA. The season length is the one that seems the most obvious the last few years. Despite the ups and downs in the short terms, the long-term view is a negative slope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The 10th-12th period is still out next hope IMO. CMC does not have a well-placed high here, but the EC and CMC continue to have a low moving around the Southeast with some marginal cold not too far away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
