I saw a flurry, so I guess the long awaited pattern change is finally underway.

44F

Sounds like our patience is finally about to pay off 

Light rain, 42F

Ch 10 guy declared winter over. Guess we’re no longer tracking that biblical Philly blizzard for this weekend.

Not this year. Strong el nino to strong la nina transitions tend to favor above average temperatures in the spring and summer months in Philly . 2010 is the best example of this.

The summers of 1973, 1988, and 2010 were (at the time) record warm summers in Philly (although the heat in 1988 abruptly ended in mid-August and produced a historically cold October).

Agreed. I think a hot, dry summer is on tap. Drought Guy will be in his glory.

Very excited about the clouds and rain this upcoming week... 

Looking forward to our usual cold, wet spring and getting some relief from these hot winter months.

49F

Topped out at 66F today. Cracked the windows open for a few hours this afternoon to get some fresh air in the house.

Just saw on my Google New feed headline that Philadelphia is bracing for a major late season snowfall next weekend. Can one of you fine folks please clue me in on what I might have missed? Thank you.

Try clearing your cache

It will be too warm regardless of the track IMO...

46F/Back edge of the rain not too far away

Let me save Anthony the trouble…

It’ll manufacture its own cold air  Don’t forget March ‘93  Models can’t handle the shorter wavelengths in March  It can snow in April  Boxing Day!!  Ya never know

Approaching .75”, mud season under way.

May as well issue my final winter grade today. Only a March '58 redux could get me to change my score...

C

Pros: It snowed. We had junk & stuff to track. We had snow on snow. I was under two winter storm warnings (although only one verified). It was better than last year (which isn't saying much).

Cons: Winter was reduced to two, one-week stretches. Other than that it was another long November. Strong Nino, -QBO and this was the best we could do?? There should have been at least one MECS. And where were the nor'easters? It wasn't a dry winter. It started off with those heavy rainstorms in Dec...and then?? Not to steal drought-guy's act but I was certain we'd get our fair share of coastals with wind, beach erosion, watches/warning/advisories, etc. Whether they would be wet or white was the only question. At least 1982-83 and 2015-16 were one-hit wonders. 

Final thought: Time to toss SSWE's in the trash bin. They're as useful as Siberian snow cover.

We're heading into another Nina, might want to countdown to fall 2025.

Chuck says we have three more ratters to go, so I'm eyeballing fall 2027 at this point 

206 days until fall 2024.

Seeing flashes, looks like a transformer a few streets over blew.

Rita's coupons in the mail today 

Someone start the spring thread!

Super cold front passage Wednesday evening could be violent and damaging

 

It's trash night, so yeah...lock it up!

Nothing left out there, final small pile at the base of the driveway just a memory, 55F.

Not much left out there other than some piles from plowing and horribly disfiguring snowmen that look more like the Elephant Man.

I sit just 5.5" behind Syracuse, NY on the season., seven miles up the road in lower Macungie they are around tied. Random chance was in my favor but is it too much to ask for 1" more to reach 30?

 

 

If you told me back around Thanksgiving that I'd be reading a post like this in late Feb, I'd have bet the farm we got smacked good this winter. 

Nice looking hurricane forming on the 12z GFS post 300 hrs. Lock it up!

Chuck says we got three more winters to go before we get back to the good stuff. Patience!

Snow in shade, crocus popping up in sun. My yard is confused. 45F

Sure sign spring is here...the door-to-door roofing & siding guys are knocking around the neighborhood today. 

It's hot driving around in the car with full sun now

Maybe a little something-something at sunset...temps are good at 31F.

Let’s reel this one in! Like summertime pop up storms, this shite will die out once the sun sets.

RedSky’s living the dream this weekend!

Two alerts on my phone, unfortunately nothing but sun here

Radar beam tends to overshoot them at that distance from the radar. Snow squalls are usually lower topped. 

Thanks, Mike. Got the warning, saw the clouds then looked at the radar and thought, “huh?”

34F/DP 21F

I slept through the whole thing. Looks like 2” eyeballing it from the house, roads and sidewalks just wet. A friend of mine in Kulpsville was out with the dog around 3am and reported light IP at the time.
