Don't know about elsewhere, but it's been pretty windy here at times tonight. Forecast was for 10-15 mph winds but there had to be gusts up to 25 or 30. We had a kettle fire tonight and the wind in the trees was roaring at times.
I'm ready for 50s and 60s soon if it's not going to snow. I think the long stretches without snow to liven things up make the winter feel longer.
At the same time I'm kind of glad it hasn't been too warm for too long, it seems to be helping the buds etc. to remain semi-dormant. Spring flowers in February probably wouldn't work out.
Back in 1971 they had 2 feet on Thanksgiving so I drove up there on Friday for the day. I went one other time and it had rained, froze, been "groomed", and you really didn't want to fall cuz it was like skiing on ice cubes, lol.
There were more double digit snowfalls in the suburbs. Many of the Nor'easters gave an additional 50% or more snow to the northwest suburbs than where they measured in PHL. For example, Dec. 24 1966 has PHL at 12.7", in NW Delco we had 20", and Chesco had 24" I believe.
Pretty sure there were one or more coastals with snow every winter from 1960-61 through 1966-67.
