  1. Getting ridiculous is an understatement.  High here today was 78f normal high here today is 52f low last night was 46f so yea well above normal.

     

    Normal High here 52f normal low 31f 

    So, between the normal highs and lows were above by 41 degrees.

    Up here in southeastern PA we have all daffodils, saucer magnolias, southern magnolias, and brad ford pear trees, apple trees, and cherry trees in full bloom.

     

    Crocus are done as they bloomed in and around January 21st.  We have had our daffodils in full bloom since Valentine's Day so there is that.

     

    Also, we had snow squalls and 50 mph winds last Saturday so yea it is changeable too. 

     

    Anyone buying highs in the 30's next week on the GFS?  That's a close call for snow on March 23rd up here in Southern PA. lol right.

    Largest fire in Texas history still roaring rather impressive as well...

    Alll normal everyday stuff no worries:

     

    12 feet + of snow in Sierra Nevada after 5 Years of no snow 

    Raging fires and 90 degrees + in Late February all normal stuff. 

     

    Being Sarcastic obviously there is an obvious problem in climate in my opinion and most of it is fueled by warm ocean water temps and air temps especially the Pacific Ocean.

    .BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM PST SUNDAY...
    
    * WHAT...Blizzard conditions likely, particularly through Saturday
      morning. There is a 10-20% chance of thunderstorms along the crest
      through this evening with snowfall rates of 4 to 6 inches per hour
      at times. Snow accumulations between 3 and 6 feet for Lake Tahoe
      communities, with 6 to 10 feet above 7000 feet. Winds gusting to
      70 mph in lower elevations and above 115 mph over Sierra ridges
      with significant drifting of snow.
    
    * WHERE...Greater Lake Tahoe Area.
    
    * WHEN...Until 10 AM PST Sunday.
    
    * IMPACTS...Whiteout conditions with near zero visibility at times
      due to blowing snow. The strong winds and weight of snow on tree
      limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages.
      Travel will be treacherous and potentially life-threatening.
    
    PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
    
    A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
    expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
    are likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel
    extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If you must travel, have a
    winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay in your
    vehicle.

    Far too generous. Did nothing Dec-holidays-mid January, and it's a top 5 warmest winter.

    C+ Here only because of normal snow, crazy deathband, 2 high end SECS in a week, 5" snow in an hour and a real 1" squall with warning.

    Oh yeah a decent maybe 10 days of snow cover in February.

    February snow came in sun angle season with non impressive cold deduct a few points.

     

    Pretty Lucky with your death band the models did all they could to find the needle in the haystack!  That event though has got to be your most memorable event over the past few years.  I will say it was fun tracking that until 3 am and then hearing the results as I looked at bare grounds until 1 am.

    It never really started so no big deal/loss...basically 2 weeks of cold (if?) and a couple minor/mod events. The rest of winter felt like Fall.

    Grade C-

    42F

    Yea pretty much snow wise better than last year, but we got lucky.   The results are pretty much the same just a slightly different way to get there.   Temps will wind up above normal again and below normal snowfall most areas except the snow capitol of the east Allentown.

    Still a solid 4" snow cover here in East Nantmeal. This is our 7th consecutive day with snow cover our longest such stretch since the 7 days between January 28, 2022 and February 3, 2022. Tomorrow will mark the longest stretch (8) since the 32 days with consecutive snow cover from January 31, 2021 through March 3, 2021

     

    Outside of shaded areas we are back to zero.  However, the shaded areas look like a solid 3" still.

    Chilliest morning since January 20th across most of Chester County this AM. With the solid snow cover across most of the County lows were in the teens in most areas (see attached). A little below normal temperatures for today through mid-week then some warming before our next chance of rain by Thursday night.
    Records for today: High 72 Phoenixville (2011) / Low Phoenixville 11 below (1979) / Precipitation 1.59" KMQS Airport (2008) / Snow 10" Coatesville (1979)

     

    Same here our low was 18 down here at the foot of the fall line. We had 3" on the ground now we lost 80% of that at this point.

    Just wow the differences just within a county like Bucks and Berks like basically 1" to 13" over a what 25–35-mile area is just astounding!  I knew there would be a lucky soul that picked up 6" but this is like hitting the jackpot and you're in it up there LOL.  

    That band that dropped all that snow last night was literally like 10 miles wide north to south and stretched along just south of I-78 straight out off the coast of New Jersey south of Long Island pretty amazing feature a training band of snow.  

     

  10. Cloudy a few snow flurries blowing through 32.9f humidity 88% dewpoint 29f pressure 29.73 steady wind west northwest 6 mph. 

     

    Total snowfall here in Media 3.5" all surfaces except only 2.1" on paved surfaces. 

    Looks like we made up from some lost time with a band that came up from the SW and set up just northeast of the Mason Dixon Line.

    Considering RedSky Country picked up 5.5' in like an hour and a half before the first flake even fell here and my 2.3" under over I would say victory here lol.

    The Trees and wires are loaded definitely not the powder that some say we would get it's once again a wet gloppy snow straight out to the Pacific Ocean thank you Pacific Ocean for 

    Some that were under WWA got 13" of snow while others in WSW got Advisory level snows this guy! 3.5" so the 2-4" I was looking for worked out.

     

    Snowfall total on the year here: 15.7"
