Back on the 21nd of January, Philadelphia set a record with 13.5 inches of snow, crushing the 1917 record by 3.4 inches.
The snow total (see chart) set a record for Jan. 21, crushing the previous mark of 3.4 inches, set in 1917. And, it set a record as the third snowfall of six inches or more before Feb. 1 – something that had never happened before, according to the National Weather Service. The total was the 10th-highest one-day snowfall ever in Philadelphia.
Well, here comes the current storm
(NBC Philly) At Philadelphia International Airport, the official reading location for Philadelphia, 8.8 inches of snow piled up in just a few hours. With that accumulation, the city shattered a 130-year-old record. More snowstorms have delivered 6 inches of snow or more this winter than ever before, Hurricane says. This is also the fifth snowiest winter of all time for the city.
While listening to the boob tube, I also heard that this is the first time in records history, and Philly’s records go back pretty far, where Philly has had 4 storms of 9+ inches in one winter. Let’s branch out, shall we?
(PIX11) Fybish, 77, wants Thursday’s storm to hit the New York area as hard as possible, because that would increase the season’s mounting snowfall totals.  In fact, average snowfall in New York during the entire winter season is 28.3 inches.  The average for this point in the season is about 20 inches.  So far this season, though, New York City is well above that, at 41.5 inches, and Thursday’s storm is sure to raise that amount noticeably.
The Tri-state area is closing in on the number of winter storms, though apparently still far from the actual snow total. Still, it’s strange that they’re seeing so much snow when snow is supposed to be a thing of the past.
Detroit shattered their January snowfall total. Seattle saw record snow on Saturday. Chicago is closing in on their record snowfall. New Jersey is closing in on snow records, and was extremely cold during January. Records abound.
What does this mean? Is this proof of the coming ice age? Not necessarily. It could happen. We could have another 40-late 1970’s type of cooling. It could be precursor to one of the cool periods that have occurred during the Holocene. The warmth switch could flip back on soon and we get another spike in global temperatures, as happens during a warm Holocene warm period. Regardless, this is more proof that the Warmist computer models and unhinged anti-science prognostications are garbage.
