March 2026 finished as our 18th warmest March since 1894 here in Chester County PA. The top 5 warmest March months are below. I also have attached the average temperature trends for March since 1894. Blue is raw and Red in NOAA altered adjusted temperatures.

This video has some  awesome fire tornado footage and information on events that i'm both familiar and unfamiliar with.

43 degrees this morning. Picked up 1.03” in the last 24 hours.

Got new AC/heat split installed this week. Guess I get to try out the heat mode this morning.

River is going up to 9.7 ‘ which is almost action stage.

You got me good, as .21" fell here.  I'm also at 47.  I knew when I saw your post last night that you had .16" that you'd likely top me because I had basically zero at that point ha.

.11” total from this event.

That first batch lasted all of 4-5 minutes if that. When it started, my wife looked at me and said "what is THAT"? I knew, opened the front door and she said "wow!" 

Here's your disparity in a single picture:

I love 50 degree drizzly days so much. I wish we had them more often.
