The NWS forecast for many spots across Chester County has low temperatures falling to below zero for the next 3 mornings. To put that in perspective. I have lived here in East Nantmeal and have been taking daily observations for the last 23 years. For the first 9 years from 2004-2013 we never had a below zero reading. Since 2014 we have had only 7 such days and have never even experienced consecutive days below zero. Of note East Nantmeal is at a relatively higher elevation at 685 ft asl. Some relatively low spots like Warwick Township (407 ft asl) have had 12 subzero days since 2012. Below is the list of the only below zero days here in East Nantmeal. 1/31/19 - 4.8 below 2/20/15 - 3.1 below 2/16/15 - 2.8 below 1/7/14 - 1.6 below 1/24/11 - 1.2 below 1/22/14 - 1.0 below 2/24/15 - 0.3 below

LOL! I have to check out that FB and set old Anthony straight!!! I meet these folks all the time....my dad always told me how often it snowed in the 1950's until I showed him the facts.....he said well maybe they didn't clean the streets up as well. This is why I love weather facts over what folks remember. Sadly our memories seem to be faulty about many things and one of the most consistent is the belief it was colder or snowier back then! Whenever back then was. The actual climate data and observations never fail us!!

I put the link above there are some NWS spots around that area - I grew up in NE Philly so check out: Neshaminy Falls 1915-Present - 24.5" of snow so far this season George School 1906-1978 Southhampton 1979-2013

Actually there is historical NWS Cooperative data for some of those spots I did a quick look with some select snow examples: Sellersville since 1948 (looks like snow since 1990's) - 24.4" of snow so far this season / 2013-14 - 58.3" season snow Doylestown 1899-2017 - 1977-78 - 56.4" of snow Quakertown 1884 - 1969 Palm 1941-1922 Check out https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/request/coop/fe.phtml?network=PACLIMATE if anyone else is interested in some local official NWS amounts etc.

I watch this almost every night..

I could only find one Chester County station that fell to below zero this morning and that was our usual cold spot up in Warwick Township with a low of 2.6 below zero. Almost all spot saw lows in the single digits above zero. If anything, we get progressively colder the rest of this week with highs through Saturday several degrees lower than yesterday. Highs will be in the mid to upper teens with lows near zero to below. The potential weekend storm still looks like it will miss our area to the east toward the NJ shore but will need to be watched for any potential changes.

2 feet up to AC on that run....several inches of snow back as far as Chesco

Hmmm. starts moving back SE.....

12z GFS operational also backing west bound

12z GFS AI ticking back to coast

Plenty of single digit lows this morning with our lowest as is often the case in Warwick Township with a low of 3.8 above zero. Several degrees colder both today and Wednesday with highs in the upper teens with low temperatures in the colder valley locations near or below zero. Even colder air arrives on Thursday and Friday with widespread below zero readings and highs in the low to mid-teens. There will be a coastal low this weekend, but most model guidance keeps the impacts well east of the Philly burbs with snow possible toward the NJ shore points. That said there is still a possibility it will trend a bit closer to the coast and gives us some additional snow. Stay warm!
