We saw subfreezing lows to start the day across Chesco this AM....but that should be the last below freezing day for at least the next week. A beautiful day today with high temps right about where they should be for March 1st in the mid-40's. Rain arrives toward midnight tonight and should last much of the day tomorrow with at least a half-inch of rain across most spots. The sun returns Sunday with highs well up into the 50's to near 60 degrees.
County wide records for today: High 75 Chadds Ford (1972) / Low 1 above Phoenixville (1934) / Rain 1.45" Coatesville (1954) / Snow 11.0" Phoenixville (1952)

Looking forward to our usual cold, wet spring and getting some relief from these hot winter months.

Not this year. Strong el nino to strong la nina transitions tend to favor above average temperatures in the spring and summer months in Philly . 2010 is the best example of this.

The summers of 1973, 1988, and 2010 were (at the time) record warm summers in Philly (although the heat in 1988 abruptly ended in mid-August and produced a historically cold October).

Agreed. I think a hot, dry summer is on tap. Drought Guy will be in his glory.

I eventually managed to tap 64 for a high yesterday and had a 44 low this morning.  Something came through around 4 pm today and knocked the temps down a bit (it had already clouded up before then), where I hit 65 for a high but am now down to 59, with some stratocumulus overspreading the sky, and dp 50.
