ChescoWx Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 So far overnight we have received 0.06" of rain here in East Nantmeal. Our below normal temperature pattern looks to continue for much of at least the next week with only Monday looking to approach near normal high temperatures for mid-April. Rain showers this morning will become steadier and heavier tonight through tomorrow morning before tapering off to showers later Saturday. Rainfall amounts look to be between 1.0" to 1.5" for much of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadzachadam Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Been on the verge of heavier rain since like 11am but still pretty light here in NW Philly.

I was delivering late afternoon papers on my Huffy and witnessed the entire transition. Cool stuff as a kid and still cool now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVLion77 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 It is interesting how this batch of precipitation hits a wall as it comes north and disintegrates. There has been minimal action in the Lehigh Valley and nothing points north. The northern LV and southern Poconos have seen very minimal rain in recent events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Last time we had a major April Snowstorm (not that IF we see any snow tonight it will be major) was back on March 31 - April 1, 1997. Heavy rain and mild temps gave way to heavy elevation driven snow. Some area totals Coatesville 13.7" Hopewell 10.3" Glenmoore 12.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 April 7th 2003 the snow had no problem sticking to pavement. At the time on my drive north on 152 there was still snow on shaded parts of the road a couple days after it snowed. Then 80's on the 15th. Then in the 40's for a high on the 18th * Allentown went on to have a low of 36F on May 19th that year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
