I ended up bottoming out at 17 yesterday morning and hit a high of 26.  Am currently at the same low of 17 with dp 14.

Looks like a warm-up and rain by the end of the week and then another cold shot.  That means that snow piles and plowed mounds will saturate with the rain and then freeze into glaciers.

14F at 6:30am. Colder than yesterday at this time which was 16F...

Had 14F on the way into work. I'm already done with this weather lol. 

Unless you like 45 degrees and rain, nothing sexy at all long range.

Worcester, PA 8 degrees. I'm in a cold spot and the combo of snow on the ground and no wind.

We had quite a few spots with lows in the single digits. The lowest was the 3.8 degrees at Warwick Township. The sun returns today and we should see some melting of the snow but with high temperatures remaining below freezing and the low sun angle it will be limited. Our much colder than normal December continues before we finally warm up to above normal on Thursday and Friday with rain arriving on Thursday night. Expect some fog over the melting snow with this system and most of the snow cover will be gone by Friday morning. Rain amounts could approach an inch in some spots. Looking ahead to Christmas week temperatures look to be not too far from normal for Christmas, but chances of a White Christmas look slim.

With this week's snow event across Chester County PA we are now up to 9.9" of snow so far this season. Through the end of December our typical average snow total is 7.1". So, what could this mean for our snow totals by the time the final flake falls possibly as late as April? Well to date this is the 36th snowiest December with records back to 1893. Below is all 36 years along with where we ended up for seasonal snow that winter. Of note 25 of the 35 years or 71% of the time we ended up with above average seasonal snowfall. Average seasonal snowfall ranges between 32" to 36" across the county. The overall average snowfall across these 35 years was 48.4" of snow. The greatest seasonal snow was the 95.0" that fell in 1898-1899 and the least was the 17.1" in 1912-1913. For Team Snow you should feel fairly good that we end up with above average snowfall this season.

Interesting that when ever we get above average snow in Dec. we never get shut out the rest of the season.
