Down to 34.8 here in NW Chesco but with just heavy virga falling
-
Good stuff! of course last November we had a well (3.1) below normal month followed since by every month being above normal this year. Including the December through March period running 1.5 degrees above normal although near normal snow for the winter.

Our low this morning of 20.6 broke the old Western Chester County record of 22.0 set back in 1993. The all-time County record was just missed which is the 19.0 from 1976. We also set a new record low max yesterday of just 39.8 besting the old mark of 41.9 from 2007. Of note today is the last day in Chester County that does not have recorded snowfall until April 2nd

First flakes of the year here in NW Chester County PA with this squall diving down from the NW - friends up the road in Birdsboro report steady snow
-
This AM was just our 2nd below freezing reading of the winter season at 31.5

Near average snow last season - if you want the worst let's go to the wayback season of 1972-73 when nada - not 1" of snow fell...that was the worst if you are a snow lover

High spots in the County only made it down to 33.1 at 5am and then we started to rise. Most spots around me are down into the upper 20's - can see a lot of frost down in the valley. Still only 1 day below freezing this season.

High wind gust was 29mph - exactly 1.00" fell before midnight with heavy rain still falling at midnight. 1.57" since yesterday. Temp is down 20 degrees from a couple hours ago now at 52.9 with heavy rain still falling across Western Chesco

A warm and wet day across Western Chester County today....but nowhere close to the record warmth we used to experience back in the mid-1980's (before climate change) when we had 3 record days in a row ending today of 75.0/81.0/81.0 ....although today's 1.53" or rain was an all-time daily rain record for the county dating back to 1894. The old record was the 1.49" on this date back in 1987
-
1.58" storm total with the 1.53" today setting a new daily record for Western Chester County besting the old daily mark of 1.49" set on this date in 1987

Some patchy frost in the low spots of the County below 600 ft ASL...AM low here so far is the current 40.0. Here above the frost zone we have still not frost or freeze. Our growing season now stands at 205 days here in Chester County. This is now the 12th longest season on record. Looks like we will have a shot at a freeze by months end. It appears the all time record of 233 days set back in 2005 is safe...assuming we record a freeze prior to November 22nd.

Today's high of only 51.9 here in the Western Philly burbs is the 2nd coldest max temp in the philly burbs for this date since 1894...only eclipsed by the 49.0 max daily temp on this date in 1996! We also recorded 0.69" of rain so far today #PAwx

0.25" of rain overnight here in Western Chester County - AM low is the current 53.4

Today's high stayed in the 50's across most of the high spots in Western Chester County with Elverson at 56.2 / Hawk Hill in Downingtown at 58.3 and West Bradford at 58.0. Today's high in East Nantmeal was the coolest high since the 53.3 back on May 14th. While today's 57.7 was well below our average high of 65.9 it is not close to our lowest max temp for the date of 52.0 back in 1999
