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 science and weather facts 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!

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"
