ChescoWx

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!

Cannot be slipping away fast with more than 4 days to go....been there done this way too many times.

With yesterday's storm we are now at 34.1" of snow for the season. This is 9th most snow we have received through the end of January. We have continuous and consistently reported snow records for the below 3 stations since 1888. Average seasonal snowfall through the end of January is 16.4". The remaining average snowfall for February through April is an additional 19.3". The average seasonal snowfall is 35.7". Below are the top 10 years along with the final snow totals for the season.

18z Euro ensembles closer to the coast....game is far from over as we all know.

All I look at is the ensembles and the latest European indeed shows accumulating snows back through our area....that is all that matters not any one operational run. Suspect another busy tracking week ahead! Stay warm my friends!!

After yesterday's 11th winter event of the season which totaled 12.8" of sleet/snow here in East Nantmeal we are at 230% of normal snowfall at 34.1". This is about 96% of our annual average snowfall. Today will be the "warmest" day of the week with temperatures hopefully making it up into the low to mid 20's. For the rest of the week temperatures will likely remain in the mid to upper teens for highs and lows near or below zero for much of the area. In fact, here in EN the NWS has a forecast low of 5 below zero on Thursday morning - in my 23 years at this location I have never recorded a temperature that cold. After some flurries today we look dry for the rest of the work week. Some models are hinting and our 12th winter event of the season next weekend....but we don't shovel or scrape model snow.

Truth!!

Hey Steve...if adding sleet yes it is a simple add in inches to the previous snow total. Reported depth is even if compacted a bit with sleet density the actual inches. Not sure that was your question but....let me know.

At 645pm I reported to the NWS another 0.8" of sleet which brings our total snow/sleet total so far today to 12.4" - this is the 12th snowstorm here in Chester County to exceed 12 inches since 2000.

Went out and did a couple test passes with the blower (see pic) - to my surprise the 1.3" of sleet since noon was easily handled by the blower. I will go back later assuming we see more sleet accumulation. Snow/sleet for the day is now up to 11.1"

Have not added any sleet accumulations but prior to the changeover this is the 19th largest winter event here in Chester County since Y2K

We have very heavy snow between 11a and 12n while I was out snowblowing and shovelling - 2.3" fell during that hour we are now up to 9.8" for the day. Moderate sleet now falling and the temp is up to 10.4

Was out snowblowing in that heavy band - 2.3" fell between 11am and noon - now up to 9.8" for the day. Still snow with some pingers mixed in temp at 10.2

As of 11am snow total for the day at 7.5" with 1.8" in last hour. Still heavy snow but sleet should be here by noon I suspect - current temp is up to 10.2 degrees

Words of wisdom for sure!

Snowing heavily here in NW Chester County looks like that sleet line is entering SW Chesco now will measure at top of the hour had 5.8" at 10am so no doubt around 7" so far. With a couple inches of sleet....high end ofn NWS forecast of 10" of snow/sleet may be just out of reach.
