Our snow cover is finally melting with just a few inches left here in NW Chester County. Today will be our 34th straight day with at least an inch of snow on the ground. This now ties this streak for the 10th longest on record and 13th overall with records back to 1894. Our rain chances to ramp up this evening and especially tomorrow. We could certainly use the rain as many spots are around half of normal precipitation so far this year and have run at a significant deficit for much of the last 7 months. Temperatures may struggle to escape the 30’s today for the higher elevation spots. We turn milder and drier on Saturday with highs a few degrees above normal. We turn colder Sunday with a chance of snow arriving and if we get some it may continue into Monday morning.

Low of 33 and foggy but with no rain yet.  The overnight runs were a mixed bag but more bad than good.  My fear, and most likely outcome at this point, is that we are too far west to cash in on the best of the coastal and too far east for the best of the upper level trough action.  Stuck somewhere in the middle with a showery couple, to perhaps a few, inches.  Next 36 hours critical for any hope with the coastal.  12z looms.

Never a good thing when the GFS is by itself. The model should be destroyed.

have you looded at cmc/euro/ens?  Not sure I'm feeling the same as you. 

GFS might be BEST, case scenario, but plenty of other guidance showing a decent event.  We've all done this long enough to not focus on best case, as odds are extremely low of it verifying, but consensus suggests were getting a modest event sunday.

What a warm up...

I know the forecast temps dropped toward late week, but damn, it's 35 and damp as hell this morning. It almost feels worse than the previous frigid cold temps the past few weeks.

My oldish bones said the same thing the last 2 days.  They prefer 20 crisp n clear vs 35-37 damp dreary.  guess i do still like the cold more than I thought.

I just went back and checked these storms out. It definitely was a  impressive cluster all things considered. It started putting down lightning in Charlotte Michigan and didn't stop putting down consistent strokes  until somewhere around State Gamelands, 114 in the Northern Allegheny Plateau. Screenshot_20260219_070825_Chrome.thumb.jpg.e9deabc9f795086dc0058d0070d9af75.jpgScreenshot_20260219_070852_Chrome.thumb.jpg.eceed620c85dcec5db6f4bb98ca04b83.jpg

They were definitely pretty impressive! Was not expecting to be woken up by a thunderstorm last night that’s for sure!

Man, it doesnt want to back down.

If the Euro trends twds something better with spacing, we might be onto a nice event for many.  CMC is like a fish flappin outta water.  Was hoping it would not buck the trends.  ICON is a bit better but nowhere close to GFS evolution and is sorta in euro camp

AI GooFuS sharper more neg tilted and slightly W of 6z for money panels.  

Other lesser storm models have not trended against us, so small wins if you want snow.  PLENTY of time for this to go gooder/bader, but I'm cool w/ where we are right now.

We need that come up about 60 miles north and west!

plenty of time for that to happen....

 

or not.  lol

with other models coming back around to the storm idea, at least that consensus is forming in a favorable way.  pretty wide goalposts tho and we are on the far left side.  Starting to feel like a plowable event is looking like a good possibility.
