JTA66 Posted Friday at 01:24 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:24 PM 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! 21F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted Friday at 02:19 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:19 PM Another .3" overnight for nice even 10" on the season, we're a snow town now in 2026 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Friday at 02:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:41 PM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Friday at 08:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:26 PM Still crunching the annual climate numbers for the other Chesco stations but at least here in East Nantmeal our average temperature for 2025 was 52.4 degrees this is the 5th coldest year in my 22 years at this location and the coldest since the 51.7 in 2013. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted Saturday at 02:00 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:00 PM Looks to be a wintry looking day. Clouds and temps in the 20s and low 30s. Maybe a couple snow showers overnight? Dusting? Car topper? 23F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Saturday at 03:11 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:11 PM If you think we were running colder than normal the entire holiday season you are correct. In the 37 days since Thanksgiving day 31 of those days have featured below normal temperatures. We should have another 3 days of below normal temperatures before we finally see an above normal temperature day on Tuesday. In fact, that day should begin a streak of well above normal temperatures that should last for about 6 days before we look to potentially trend back to below normal by next Monday. There is a slight chance of some flurries tonight with our next rain chance arriving by Thursday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted Saturday at 03:23 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:23 PM This is some torch we are in. Being sarcastic obviously, but remember when guidance had Dec 24-Jan 10 as a total torch job? Now it even appears the real moderation period that is coming next week will be muted and short-lived with seasonal cold returning by later next weekend. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those years where the warm is coming it’s going to be 60s and 70’s then the warmth is shooed cut down by the west northwesterly flow beat down. This sets up a normal winter IHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted Saturday at 05:28 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:28 PM Not that it means anything verbatim, but the GFS has fantasy blue at the end of the run. Hopefully it’s just another sign that the torch won’t be so torchy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have this feeling our snowiest month is behind us (Dec) and we'll eek out the season in the 20-25" range total which isn't horrible but w/all the cold around I would have expected more. Still early of course and it's good to see flakes flying every other day but the season ending amount may not be all that impressive. Hopefully we reload after the brief warmup and blast the rest of Jan into Feb... 28F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may experiencing a upper frontal lobe past memory brain infection which affects expectations on future events which are unrealistic results/outcomes. Happens mainly within the weather community. Treatment: Review the 99.999% of the time this didn't occur then smack yourself in the head 6 or 7 times, kick trashcans then tell yourself don't do this again until it happens again. Repeat therapy as needed... 29F/Cloudy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
