Snow started here in East Nantmeal at 910am quickly getting steadier temp at 30.1 with Tempest at 29.3

March is the best month for elevation driven events....the way this year has gone....I suspect snow is not done in much of the NW philly burbs over 500 ft ASL....

Wxsim with 12z NAM and 6z GFS This really looks to me like one of those events where every 100 feet of elevation will make a difference... Monday: Dense overcast. Snow likely in the morning, then a mix of snow and rain likely in the afternoon. High 32. Wind chill ranging from 17 to 24. Wind south around 9 mph, gusting to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation 80 percent. Precipitation (liquid equivalent) mostly between half an inch and one inch. Snow accumulation 4 to 6 inches.

WXSIM likes this "event" more than the last one for snow....by the way not buying the 31 for a high....if I was forecasting I would make this a solid 34 in my area....but what do i know.... Monday: Dense overcast. A chance of snow in the morning, then snow likely in the afternoon. High 31. Wind chill ranging from 17 to 23. Wind south-southwest around 9 mph, gusting to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation 80 percent. Precipitation (liquid equivalent) mostly between a quarter and half an inch. Snow accumulation 2 to 3 inches.

yes an absolute classic!! I may have to dial it up with the narration by John Chancellor!

Worcester for a snow lover like you is the place to be IMHO! Sports wise I am a life long 4 for 4 guy but nothing in Philly ever matches the passion this town has for the Phillies and baseball. Good or bad teams they are always not only high up in actual MLB attendance at games.... but every friggin year the Phillies are at the top of local TV ratings. The Phillies by a large margin crush both the Sixers and Flyers when it comes to TV ratings on NBC Sports Philly - the Phillies are the major entity that keep that channel going with top time slot rated live games over 150 times a year that represent the channels highest rated events. Now I always have folks that tell me - jeez the Eagles sell 70k seats a game.....but of course that is for only 8 games a year. Now, if in any year if the Phillies only had 8 home games - how tough a ticket would that be to get? Heck they have the longest sell out streak in National League History with 257 straight sell outs with a 46,000 seat stadium from July 7, 2009 through August 6, 2012. Now why do I think Baseball is the best sport of the major 4? It's because it feeds us almost every night for 6 straight months.....the other sports can't match that. Now I suspect I will hear loudly from the baseball is boring crowd.....I get it....it takes an investment and it why it is called the "thinking man/woman's game" As Mark Twain said " to know America is to know baseball"

Through today here in East Nantmeal Twp. in Chester County PA with the 10" snow cover still on the ground this is our 21st consecutive day with snow cover. This represents our longest consecutive days with snow cover since the 48 straight days recorded back in 2015 from January 23rd till March 11th. There have been 39 snow cover streaks of greater than 20 days since 1894. That list is attached - our current streak is good for #35. Overall this area averages a total of 31 days of snow cover in an average winter season. Through today we are at that exact average with our 31st such day so far in Winter 2020-21. Below is a chart showing total days with snow cover for the last 12 complete decades since 1900. Let me know if any questions - thanks!

Interesting explanation from that "well respected meteorologist" at WB on the Thermally Induced Reverse Circulation that will support the Monday event....

Could be the perfect snow on snow.....snow accumulates but only on snowboard and snowcover and no shoveling required!! It looks like some accumulations look likely N and W of Philly

Very light snow in East Nantmeal temp 27.0 on VP and 25.9 on Tempest

Of note ...while the PHL airport heat island does what it does....here in the Philly burbs this February now has resulted in 4 of our top 7 snowiest February's in history all taking place since the turn of the century in 2000! Climate change/warming continues to deliver at least in our local climate for snow lovers!

With today's 7.0" of snow/sleet in Western Chester County Pa we have now recorded 30.4" of snow/sleet so far during this February. This now represents the 7th snowiest February in the Western Philly burbs since National Weather Service COOP record keeping began way back in 1894. In addition the 45.9 inches of snow we have received so far this winter season represents the 27th snowiest season in Chester County history. Below are the top 15 February's in recorded COOP history

Not good for b-ball today!!

What a disaster for the birds - the haul they got nothing close to what you should get for an overall 2 and viewed only 5 months ago as your franchise QB - the dead cap hit will kill them for a long time.....brutal!!

Very Icy roads here in East Nantmeal Twp....I could not get up my driveway - you can see how steep it is. The part that is black is a sheet of clear Ice that area I snow blowered and shoveled during a 45 min break between work zoom meetings today and while I did blow the snow off - I could not get back out there and now it is an icy mess. We had a total of 7.0" of snow/IP - 6.5" of snow then 0.5" of IP and now an icy ZR drizzle is falling - be safe out there if you need to drive this evening!

Wxsim was uh not real swell with this one.....
