Poor Timmy where is that 50 plus degrees you were preaching about for Christmas Day earlier this week? LOL

Today will be near to slightly above normal with highs in the middle 40's. We warm a bit more tomorrow into the upper 40's and then the low 50's by Friday. Rain arrives by Thursday night and would expect to see some areas of fog as the snow melt ramps up tomorrow night. We could see 3/4 to an inch of rain. We then turn colder again for the weekend and into the start of Christmas week.

How cold has the first half of December been....well here in Chester County PA with 132 years of climate data this December is the 11th coldest start to the final month of the year. Below are the 20 coldest first halfs of December. While we will moderate a bit to near or slightly above normal for the remainder of this month we will still end December with below normal temperatures and finish the 2025 calendar year with 7 of the 12 months averaging below normal temperatures.

True! I did not really catch that but indeed!!

With this week's snow event across Chester County PA we are now up to 9.9" of snow so far this season. Through the end of December our typical average snow total is 7.1". So, what could this mean for our snow totals by the time the final flake falls possibly as late as April? Well to date this is the 36th snowiest December with records back to 1893. Below is all 36 years along with where we ended up for seasonal snow that winter. Of note 25 of the 35 years or 71% of the time we ended up with above average seasonal snowfall. Average seasonal snowfall ranges between 32" to 36" across the county. The overall average snowfall across these 35 years was 48.4" of snow. The greatest seasonal snow was the 95.0" that fell in 1898-1899 and the least was the 17.1" in 1912-1913. For Team Snow you should feel fairly good that we end up with above average snowfall this season.

We had quite a few spots with lows in the single digits. The lowest was the 3.8 degrees at Warwick Township. The sun returns today and we should see some melting of the snow but with high temperatures remaining below freezing and the low sun angle it will be limited. Our much colder than normal December continues before we finally warm up to above normal on Thursday and Friday with rain arriving on Thursday night. Expect some fog over the melting snow with this system and most of the snow cover will be gone by Friday morning. Rain amounts could approach an inch in some spots. Looking ahead to Christmas week temperatures look to be not too far from normal for Christmas, but chances of a White Christmas look slim.
