ChescoWx Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago We start February as we ended January with well below normal temperatures. I am working on completing the overall Chester County summary for January but at least here in East Nantmeal this January was the 4th coldest and 3rd snowiest across the 23 years I have been recording weather observations at this location. This well below normal stretch of temperatures looks to continue for at least the first 10 days of February. Today will be our 9th straight day with below freezing high temperatures. We do moderate through Tuesday with our best shot at getting above freezing being Tuesday. The current NWS forecast has a high here in EN of 30 degrees. There could be a few light snow chances over the next week with the first potential on Tuesday night a more likely shot by Friday and another chance possibly by next Sunday. For those on Team Snow the good news is February is on average our snowiest month of the year with East Nantmeal averaging 13.3" of snow in a typical 2nd month of the year.

Hurricane Agnes Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 19 hours ago, PhiEaglesfan712 said: Tinicum Twp is where the Airport is, and PHL had a low of 10 this morning. -12 (or 22 degrees colder) seems impossible, and it would be lower than PHL's lowest ever temperature, which was set in February 1934. I'd be willing to bet the low is somewhere in between both. 10 seems too high, -12 seems too low. I had 7F for a low yesterday morning and a 10 this morning. The reason? The winds never decoupled here. Literally had gentle breezes going all Friday night into Saturday morning, from ~1-2 mph with "gusts" of 4 mph. Kept it from radiating. Had the same (with higher winds) overnight this past night. Am currently up to 20 with dp 9. I noticed that some of snowpack on the southwest side of my house is eroding, am guessing from insolation because it certainly isn't from melting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk sighting earlier on my deck. Every Sunday, I listen to the recordings (they dub them podcasts but they just record their radio shows) of Andre Viette's "In the Garden" radio show and am usually a couple weeks behind their broadcasts, but still go through them in order and listening to one of the hours this morning, one of the callers was asking about those Cooper Hawks and whether there were more around nowadays versus in the past. And the response was that they are always generally around but the Cooper's are particularly active in December/January/February. When I used to live in a hi-rise on an upper floor, I had a visit by one who perched right on the balcony rail scoping the area for probably an hour or so. Then it suddenly dive-bombed right off the balcony and probably snagged a rabbit that I had earlier seen hopping around on the grass at the front of the building 18 stories down! Am currently at 23 (my weather station says "Feels like 15.3"), which is the warmest "high" here since January 26. The dp is still an arctic 10.
