chescowx Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 As we will pass the old wettest year on record (1996) with the storm system beginning today I thought I would go back and research the top 12 wettest years and what if any correlation it had to the following snow seasons. The below is coop data for Chester County PA (1894 to Present) Top 12 wettest years and snow seasons to follow. To put this in context we average 36.4" of snow in Chester County PA in an average season. In the 12 wettest years the snow totals for the winter season averaged 42.0" so about 6" above normal. Ranging from as much as 87" to as little as 13" Rank/Year/Rain/Snow 1) 1996/75.12"/35.4" 2) 1979/66.88"/12.8" 3) 2003/63.06"/41.5" 4 ) 1902/59.49"/25.8" 5) 2009/58.19"/86.6" 6) 1983/58.12"/33.8" 7) 1901/56.40"/29.4" 😎 1993/56.17"/45.7" 9) 1894/56.06"/50.4" 10) 1952/56.05"/21.3" 11) 1906/55.59"/71.8" 12) 1933/55.02"/48.9" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chescowx Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I guess in summary it did not mean anything really - as 6 years were above normal and 6 were below normal snowfall seasons.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
