Still moderate snow as the rain line advances north bound All surfaces covered looks like at least 0.5" so far

A big shout out to my Facebook Page friends and followers as today we have passed 10,000 members!!! I am so appreciative of all of you...even those who struggle with the difference between a model and a forecast. Thank you! At 945am the NWS upgraded Western Chesco to a Winter Weather Advisory through 8pm tonight. For this winter event #12 of our active season we see snow arriving from the west during the noon hour. Snow will change to rain (little if any sleet) by 4pm - at most we should see around 1" of snow. Beneficial rains will fall through tonight until tomorrow PM. Most spots should see upwards of 1" of liquid equivalent before the rain ends. We turn sharply and unseasonably colder yet again on Sunday night with our temperatures remaining below freezing both day and night for the rest of the work week. The rumored potential snow event midweek remains a possibility. Some models have a large snowstorm....others no more than flurries...stay tuned and thanks again!!

The European Model suggests a major snowstorm in excess of 20 inches of snow later this week. The GFS says nope - it will stay to our south and move out to sea. Keep in mind The Blizzard of 1996 (NOT SAYING THIS WILL BE ANYTHING LIKE THAT) also featured the European saying big snows while the AVN/GFS said out to sea.

Chilly and breezy but dry today. Tomorrow it appears that our 12th winter event of what has been a busy winter season will arrive. Snow should begin by late morning tomorrow and change to rain by late afternoon. We could see up to as much as 2" of snow before it all gets washed away with some much-needed rain. Warmer with periods of rain Sunday before a turn to much colder by Sunday night. Dry and unseasonably cold weather this week with most of the week remaining below freezing both day and night. The potential is there for our largest snowstorm of the season....but we do not shovel potential! If the storm occurs it appears late Wednesday into Thursday will be the time frame.

12z GFS in a nice spot a week out....

Agreed 100% I know most folks that post here understand that irrespective of what a model shows....we never ever need to shovel model snow. It is one part of the tool set used by professional meteorologists to make a forecast. Nothing wrong with posting maps as long as folks understand what they are and what they are not.

We picked up 0.23" of freezing rain and rain since last evening. So far this year we are running over 2.5" below normal rainfall. Over the last 14 months we have been running at a slight deficit of 4.90" of precipitation. During this time frame we are running at 91% of normal melted snow/rain. We should put a nice dent in our deficit over this weekend with most models showing upwards of 1" of rain. Tomorrow will be the best weather day of the weekend before snow arrives on Saturday afternoon. Snow will change to rain during the PM. Sunday looks wet through midday. We then turn sharply colder by Sunday night with yet another run of below normal temperatures for most of next week. We have had solidly below normal temperatures across the area since way back on Thanksgiving Day. Expect to hear rumors of a snowstorm by mid to late next week.

Nothing going on here in East Nantmeal - Temp 31.3 and oh yeah! - Happy Pitchers and Catchers Day!! My 3rd favorite calendar sports day behind only 1st spring training game just 1 week from Friday and Season Opening Day!!! GO PHILLIES!!!!

For those missing the big snows of yesteryear.....I thought I would post my observations from February 2010....any interest in 5 feet 3 inches of snow in a month?

Hey Kevin thanks for the comment!! I was not there to measure....but I'm not sure on the barrier islands they had that much but certainly 5" or so based on my cameras!

Happy First Day of Phillies Spring Training to those who celebrate!! Our 11th winter event of the 2024-25 winter season is in the books bringing our seasonal total to 18.9" this is only 3.8" below our normal snow through today of 22.7". Our next brief winter event arrives quickly on its heels by this evening. Some flurries may be around during the day, but steadier snow looks likely to arrive again this evening but will change to sleet and then freezing rain before a change to all rain later tonight. Temperatures will struggle to get above freezing until 11pm tonight especially in the higher spots. We should have our best day of the week on Friday before more snow quickly changing to what could be our heaviest rain event in quite a while for Saturday into Sunday. We once again turn much colder to well below average temperatures to start the new work week.
