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.
