I didn't even notice, I thought we did. 

My last below freezing low was on Tues. (1/6) with a 29.  Yesterday's low 37 and this morning's low was 39 here in NW Philly.  Made it up to 53 yesterday but "only" 51 today and current temp is 42 with dp 35.

Low in Media last night was briefly 33f.  

Currently it is 36f surprisingly pretty chilly considering it was fairly warm today.

They are getting ready to chase the storms out to sea next week?

Same here. And there was about a hundred or so pecking at the grass on a baseball field at a local high school.

Booked a ski trip to Vermont after MLK Day so expect an I-95 special around 1/20-1/23. That’s how it works, right?

Probably not because I'm going to Vermont 1/25-1/27. So, if there's one when you're away, there has to be one when I'm not away, which has close to 0% chance of happening.

Mild temperatures continue today with rain chances increasing this afternoon. A brief break in the rain tonight before we turn chillier with more rain tomorrow into Saturday night. Temperatures turn colder after Sunday with temperatures not too far from normal for mid-January before trending much colder by the end of next week into the weekend. We could see between 0.75” to 1” of rain tomorrow night. Winter weather opportunities start to ramp up by later next week.

Always observed that when you see geese gathering and eating together that snow is about 2 weeks away.

12Z GFS is like a 200-225mi treck west for next week on a massive snowstorm

GFS hits us for the 2nd storm and close call on the 1st!

Drink up kids! This is gonna be a fun week ahead! 

 

Hopefully....

Lots of potential for that 1/17-1/19 timeframe. Especially if that midweek storm threat fizzles and gets out of the way.

Plenty of storms and rumours of storms coming up....give me the cold and one of these waves will sharpen just enough for a winter "event" or 2....
