LVblizzard Posted Tuesday at 08:26 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:26 PM WAA sleet/graupel/snow junk missed me to the south. Tonight’s R/S line looks like it will stay to the north of Allentown. At least this is happening in November and not January when cold air will be more abundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGorse Posted Tuesday at 09:33 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:33 PM Mowing my lawn (mostly to pick up lots of leaves) between 3:30-4:00 PM today and a few minutes in, sleet was falling. Perhaps I should have looked at the radar first. Lol Did not have that on my bingo card today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simbasad2 Posted Tuesday at 11:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:04 PM 21z HRRR run from today. Looks like the rain/snow line has shifted a hair south compared to earlier runs along with precipitation totals for everyone regardless of p-type. I don't think we'll have as amped of a solution as modeled but still can't rule out a grassy coating for the N of I-78 folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted Wednesday at 12:18 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:18 AM Interesting system coming in from the west needless to say. Those are some pretty good thunderstorms there in West Virginia. Currently precipitation to the south is hitting a brick wall and heading southeast away. Here is my interesting observation at the airport currently it is 47f with a 25f dewpoint. Here in Media just 13 miles west southwest it is 38 with a dewpoint of 23f Pretty wild to have an almost 10-degree difference in a short distance with a lower dewpoint. Looks like a pretty vigorous low coming in from the west and energy transfer southeast from the Great Lakes. I also too didn't have sleet on my bingo card today. I wonder if there are any more surprises coming tonight. wind here west at 7 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted Wednesday at 04:17 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:17 AM Hi-res RGEM has 6” for much of Northampton County tonight. Would be pretty wild to see that model score a coup. Looks like other models are much more realistic with a C-2” north of I-78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted Wednesday at 11:14 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:14 AM I finally caved and put my heat on last Tuesday and at least I got a few days before the indoor humidity crashed to 22%. Needless to say, the humidifiers were fired up yesterday afternoon and and overnight, and I'm finally @35% (with the rain helping). Had my first frozen of the season yesterday. About 3:15 pm, my Upper Darby sis had texted "And now it's sleeting". I hopped up and looked out and didn't see anything except some possible drizzle (it was in the mid-40s at the time). But about 15 minutes later I checked and heard the unmistakable pingers. Obviously nothing was sticking but it was there. Eventually it became a mix of light rain and sleet. Ended up with 0.01" of that yesterday and woke up to 0.20" this morning. After a 32 low yesterday morning, made it up to 47 and it's currently 39 with light rain (now at 0.32" in the bucket), and dp 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBasile Posted Wednesday at 01:06 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:06 PM The season begins. Thought I heard some pings on the window earlier, but could have just been wishful thinking. Picked up 0.45" of rain today. 40.4F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Wednesday at 01:25 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:25 PM We saw a pretty evenly distributed amount of rain overnight with most spots receiving between 0.30" to 0.35" of rain. Today’s temperatures will remain below normal in the middle 40's with mostly cloudy skies. We stay mainly cloudy and chilly through tomorrow before we warm to above normal on Friday and not too far from normal temperatures to start Thanksgiving week. From this distance Turkey Day looks to be warmer than normal but that will likely change to a colder than normal pattern during Thanksgiving Weekend and as we move toward December. Our next chance of rain looks to it will arrive Friday night into Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeymac5306 Posted Thursday at 12:07 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:07 PM 28 and hard frost on my truck this morning. In other news, overnight Euro has something trying to spin up next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Thursday at 01:08 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:08 PM After a frosty start this morning we will see a mostly cloudy day with temperatures this afternoon a few degrees cooler than normal for late November. Tomorrow we should see above normal temperatures but with rain arriving tomorrow night. The sun returns for the weekend with temperatures not too far from normal. We look to warm to well above normal by the day before Thanksgiving before the pattern change to colder takes hold by Turkey Day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was actually some pretty decent ensemble support earlier this week of an amplified shortwave to emerge behind the Thanksgiving system around the weekend of 11/29-30. Unfortunately this looks unlikely now 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago We have not had much sun this week and today will be no different. Rain chances increase late tonight with around 0.20" possible for most areas. We should finally see the sun return tomorrow through Monday with afternoon high temperatures near average at around 50 degrees. Our next rain chances increase by Tuesday late day into Wednesday. Wednesday should be our one well above average temperature day with highs reaching near 60 degrees! We turn sharply cooler by Thanksgiving Day.

What temp did your house get down to? I'm in a "townhouse" so basically a "row" ("attached" on both sides). It got down to about 64 and once the heat was on, within a few days, and after the cold dry air after fropa, the humidity plunged to 22% (perfect for the expected static electricity zaps and nosebleeds). Humidifiers were finally set up and i got the downstairs up to ~36% (with the upstairs ~40%, where the rain helped). That 35% - 40% (max) range is good for me. That central air heat can be a bear.

Albedoman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago well drought guy, here. These pity rain events is killing us now. Just issued a drought watch for my water supply. The bad thing is that it did not come from PADEP or the USGS, it came from my water authority LCA. This is getting serious as this affects the water bottling companies as well as 200,000 residents in the LV. Where is 2-3 in rainfall from a noreaster? WeE can not even squeeze out a popcorn fart for a decent rainfall event. Every time I look at the models, the snow potential keeps getting push back to the middle of December too.

ChescoWx Posted 45 minutes ago Share Posted 45 minutes ago Well, I have completed some deep analysis across all of the Chester County and SE Berks County PA climate sites to see how often we have seen a White Christmas here in the western Philadelphia suburbs of Chester and SE Berks Counties. Now what is up for debate is what represents a White Christmas?? For purposes of this exercise, I am considering measurable snow on the ground (+0.2") on either December 24th or December 25th before midnight. Some interesting statistics of note. We have received Holiday Week snow during Christmas week (December 17th through 25th) in 77 of the 132 years or 58% of all Christmas seasons We experience a White Christmas somewhere in Chester/SE Berks Counties about 1 out of every 3 years or 34% of all years. We have received measurable snow on 29 Christmas Eve or Days (22%) 16 measurable snows on Christmas Eve 13 measurable snows on Christmas Day One inch or more snow was on the ground: 32 times on Christmas Eve (24%) 31 times on Christmas Day (23%) Our last White Christmas was last Christmas Eve Day when 0.5” fell at East Nantmeal and 0.4” at Octoraro Lake on December 24th. Below is the number of White Christmases by Decade including the partial decades of the 1890’s and our current decade the 2020’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to our new normal of Pacific warm dominated weather pattern with a sprinkle of flat ridges from the warm Gulf of Mexico and southwestern Atlantic this the cause of your erratic rainfall amounts and very little snow.
