ChescoWx

Winter began this morning at 4:21am. Snow amounts last evening and overnight ranged from between 0.8" to 2.0" across the area. Our coldest air of the season has moved in for the weekend. We should remain below freezing for the next 3 days before finally rising above freezing during Christmas Eve Day. We could see low temperatures by Monday morning as low as 5 degrees above zero. We could see another round of light snow overnight Monday into Christmas Eve morning. Temperatures look to rebound to near normal to close out Christmas Week.

It amazes me how many folks on X / twitter seem to think that unless snow accumulates on their driveway or the road it is not accumulated snow!! Snowboards FTW!!!

Another 0.25" since last report and now up to 2.0" for the day still snowing steadily temp at 30.6

Just reported 1.8" to the NWS - still snowing steadily - season to date at 2.3" here in NW Chesco

Just last February 2024....heavy wet snow.....did you miss that one???

NO

Fox 29 Meterologist Drew Anderson just mentioned ChescoWx with the below pic

0.8" so far here in East Nantmeal still snowing steadily and the temp is at 30.6 degrees

Have not measured yet but looks like we are closing in on 1 inch of snow here in NW Chesco with the temp down to 30.7

Roads starting to get covered here in NW Chesco above 600 ft....temp down to 31.0

Huh? did you miss the 5" to 11" of snow across Chester County last February 13th??

Steady snow across NW Chester County with our 2nd measurable snow of the year

Snowing steadily now here across NW Chesco the temp is down to 32.5 degrees and the radar is filling in to the west.

The latest HRRR if you dare to believe has a general 1" to 3" across the area....if that were to actually occur most would be pleased

As usual I suspect this IVT will have a surprise or 2 up it's sleeve. I suspect the relative "jackpot" will run somewhere between NE Philly and Central NJ.....

Some very light snow has already been reported across the area this morning. We should see light snow mixed with rain across SE portions of the area before becoming all snow toward evening. Snow amounts look light with between 0.5" to as much as 2.0" in spots. It is a difficult forecast for the NWS as the development of a norlun trough could enhance snow amounts for a targeted area this evening. Either way roads should remain just wet during the day with accumulations only on non-paved surfaces and temps a few degrees above freezing in lower spots. Some higher However, by nightfall temperatures will fall below freezing and depending on where the snow showers set up we could see some slippery conditions for a time overnight into Saturday morning. Our coldest weather of the young winter season arrives this weekend with low temperatures by Monday morning as low as 4 degrees above zero.

Latest NAM shows "uh greatest" snowfall over Chesco and middle Delaware....time to get the blower gassed up!!

It's not the norlun on that model....simply the relatively impressive upper level trough that digs as it moves from west to east. Not saying I buy this solution either!

Euro tries to paint a general 2" to 5" event NW Of I95

NAM gives most folks at least a little snow....if you choose to believe!

3KM vs 12 KM NAM

With our 0.26" of rain last evening, we are now above normal for rain this month and up to 95% of normal precipitation for the year to date. Today starts a stretch of at least the next week averaging at or below normal temperatures for Christmas Week. We will also have a couple chances of snow. The first chance is tomorrow afternoon into the night and again on Christmas Eve. It will turn very cold over the weekend with low temperatures in the single digits for many by Monday morning. Today also marks the 15th anniversary (2009) of one of our larger Christmas week snowstorms when between 10" to 15" of snow fell across the area. That snow led to one of our 2 most recent White Christmas (last one was in 2012).
