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.

I have been seeing Penn Dot shuffling some plow trucks on flat beds lately. Few heading up 15 north.

40 degrees and a little bit of fog.

I've done a few of these at Penn State road games. Met some amazing people tailgating, especially in Madison Wisconsin

Low of 41 with .01” of rain. 

Madison was our first ever road trip many moons ago, loved it. Last year we were in Morgantown for the West Virginia game and I met Joe Calhoun at the hotel bar, our long-time local meteorologist on WGAL. Great guy.

That's really cool.

Nerd alert: just this week I was on WGAL's YouTube page waxing sentimental while watching Joe's (and @AllWeather) videos from before and during the great January 2016 snowstorm. I love going back and reliving moments like that. There are videos on the page from about 3 days prior to the storm all the way through the event finale. Best part is watching the forecasted amounts go up and up as the event approached and played out. 

I do this probably once every few months. Truly.

I remember the Nam'd to end all a few days prior then watching in stunned belief as models all went to it the final 24 hours. Even then I wasn't sure until that 81 death band set up late morning and decided not to move. Off and lightning strikes for hours. I'm still upset our friend in Carlisle measurements didn't end up at least in the first initial report. He did the snowboard by the book for the entire event.

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.image.thumb.png.d1900418e1b7dc97bafabbc521e1bade.png

43 degrees and foggy. Picked up .18 of rain overnight.

Deer came to visit last night, had about 8 deer in the yard.

My oldest son lives on the outskirts of the city. “Hill section” And it nothing for him to see 20 deer a night. He has an electric fence around his garden to keep the deer out.
