At precisely 5:05pm yesterday, the temperature in Fairbanks, Alaska reached 33 degrees. This marked the first time the temp climbed above freezing since October 31st, 2025. 153 consecutive days below freezing. You needed to know this. 

That’s amazing. It also aligns with what my buddy who lives in Bethel has been telling me all winter, that it’s been relentless and brutal. In fact, he said some of the Natives who’ve lived there their entire lives told him it’s been the roughest winter they can ever remember. Wild.

Alaska has had a lot of un-Alaska like winters lately.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
Many lower elevation spots reached the lower 80's yesterday. While higher spots remained below 80 degrees, we did set a record high for my East Nantmeal station yesterday breaking the old record from 2011 by almost 5 degrees. However, the Chester County record from 1963 of 84 degrees at West Grove was not reached by any of the record stations across the County. With our backdoor cold front temperatures have fallen below forecasted levels to well down into the 40's across the area. We may struggle to get much above 60 degrees today. We turn much chillier tonight with well below normal temperatures through Wednesday. There is the potential of a hard freeze by Wednesday morning. Shower chances are around today but dry for much of the upcoming work week.
