valley spots around me were in the 20's but mid 30's here

Some folks had asked me to perform an analysis of both the Winter and Summer Average Temperature by Complete Decades for just here in Chester County from the 1900's thru the 2010's. You will see the very cyclical nature of our warming and cooling patterns. Overall, we have seen some slight warming of winters and conversely some cooling of our summers across Chester County PA. The warmest decade for both summers and winters was way back in the 1930's. Of note so far here in the partial decade of the 2020's we are so far running as the warmest winter decade since the 1930's!! However, last winter was the coldest winter in 10 years and we are off to a colder than normal start to this winter so we will wait and see if this is the start of the next cooling trend across the County. These are also updated on the http://www.chescowx.com website. Let me know if you have any questions.

Have not hit freezing here the last 2 nights- tonight will be our 3rd straight....

Thanks Kevin! it's my original training and early career as an accountant that makes me like to play with numbers

Some large temperature spreads this morning across the area with lower valley locations like Warwick Township with a low at 25.8 degrees while higher spots like here in East Nantmeal could go no lower than 35.7 degrees. Our mild weather continues through Saturday before we turn back to temperatures not too far either side of average for January by Sunday and through much of next week. We have rain chances increasing by later tomorrow and lasting till toward midnight on Saturday night. This could be one of our more significant rain events in the last few months with some models hinting at over an inch of rain. Looking further ahead it appears likely we turn significantly colder by next weekend but at this point no significant winter events are on the horizon. For those on Team No Snow fingers crossed it stays that way!

Does the Wiggum rule require that reading at PHL airport?

A nice January thaw day on the way although a bit breezy with highs well into the 40's. Even better weather tomorrow with sun and less wind. Shower chances increase Friday and into Saturday which will mark the end of our very brief milder period. We turn back to colder during the day Sunday and we should see normal January temperatures returning for much of next week. We may also start to see some potential for more wintry weather as we move toward the end of next week.

Suspect the rain will exit stage right well before kick off - bigger deal IMO will be the wind....

Today we should be seeing the temperature warming to near normal for early January with highs in the low 40's. We could see some light rain later this evening and into tomorrow morning. We then start a stretch tomorrow with above normal temperatures for the next 4 days through Saturday before we chill back down to normal temperatures to close out the weekend and will stay seasonably chilly all of next week.

February 2010 was the snowiest month I have personally experienced in my life time. Over 5 feet of snow with 3 storms over a foot. Including 26.8" / 18.3" and 13.5" over just 3 weeks!
