Another morning, another car topper…that’s so 2026.

Don’t know where the rest of this winter is heading, but we got through the holiday season with cold and frozen. WINNING!

Amazing there wasn't, and still isn't, no mention of this light snow in Mt Holly's forecast.

Google weather had it. Almost down to a tee as far as start and stop time.

Another .3" overnight for nice even 10" on the season, we're a snow town now in 2026

As I had mentioned yesterday some models were hinting at some snow showers overnight and we did indeed see some overnight which as many have mentioned recoated drives across the area. Here in East Nantmeal we picked up 0.3" of snow (our 8th winter event of the season). We continue with well below normal temperatures through Monday but then see a nice warmup with temperatures trending well above normal for much of next week. Overall the next week or so looks dry with maybe a snow shower chance Saturday night.

A lazy flurry or two here as well. Just a few 100 bazillion more and we'll be on to something.

I can remember as a little kid seeing flurries and not understanding weather (not that I do now), that I could somehow will it to snow if I just concentrated hard enough. Spoiler aleet: it never worked out.

Flurries and 24F. Deep winter. Great mid season winter vibes, cold, flurries, gray.

Ralph judging by everyone jumping off a cliff in the MA forum, guessing nothing doing on the GFES and EPS?  I don't read them very well.

We're in a truly desperate state in the Mid Atlantic sub forum. It's been a decade since there has been a region wide warning level snowfall, and it's looking rather grim for snowfall chances down our way once again this winter. It's entirely possible that we won't even manage a double digit seasonal snowfall total at any of our climate sites (BWI, DCA, IAD) again this year.

I wouldn't read too much into it up in your neck of the woods. You can still very easily score and have had several events this far.

It's just a bunch of snow weenies losing their minds over a 4 day warmup, nothing unusual about that.

In a clipper/Miller B pattern yes but if it's a full blown shit the blinds pattern for the MA then Philly proper and the immediate areas are usually SOL as well.

Just a January thaw. We've been in a freeze since right after Thanksgiving. Its going to be ok...winter will return. Just look ahead at 5 days max dont get caught up in 2 weeks out. Enjoy the reload period.

Maybe I can get the outside Christmas decorations down before Memorial Day this year.

A neighbour takes them down January first which is insane
