ChescoWx Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 The big warmup is underway as temps have risen from a midnight low of 21.0 to already above freezing across all of Chester County. The mild and mostly dry weather will continue till our next rain chance on Thursday. A couple models have enough cold air getting involved by overnight Friday into Saturday AM to deliver some snow....but as we have seen this winter - I would not get the snow blowers gassed up just yet! Of note 9 years ago today (see below) in 2014 we were in the midst of a crippling ice storm sandwiched between 2 snowstorms. We received 10.3" of snow on February 3rd followed by an ice storm that began overnight on the 5th temps fell into the 20's and would remain below freezing for 9 straight days with another snowstorm on the 13th and 14th delivering an additional 20" of snow to Chester County. On the morning of the 15th we had 26" of snow and ice on the ground and finished the month with 39.4" of snow. However, that 39.4" was well below our record snows for the month of February having been exceeded just 4 years earlier with the 62.8" of snow that fell in February 2010 and the all-time greatest monthly snow totals being the 69.8" that fell in February 1899. Of interest there was also snow continuously on the ground during the winter of 2014 for 50 straight days from January 21st through March 11th. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I guess since we shot down that Chinese "weather" balloon, we're going to have to wait a little longer for the planned CCP model to become operational... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that ice storm and that run we were on. Exciting times.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Went to Victory in Downingtown and set out in the patio. Beautiful day. Got home and did an hour of garden cleanup - getting ready for spring since we probably only get 2-3 more nights of actual bitter cold weather, if that. No arctic air anywhere in sight. 51 was my high. Felt great working outside on a long sleeve T-shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is quite the drive. There was live Music at the Flood Zone but was too chilly for the patio...too windy really. Alexia Christian was playing.

ChescoWx Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Our mild weather continues most of this week before we cool down to near normal by the weekend. Rain looks likely by Thursday morning with another chance on Friday night into Saturday. The record high for today is 65.8 set in 2008. The record low is 6 below zero from 1895. Daily precipitation mark is the 3.00" that fell way back in 1896. Our daily snow record is the 12.3" that fell today back in 2010. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
