Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey Are About to Get Cold
Winter is on the way, but it sure hasn’t felt like it across much of the U.S. yet this season. However, that’s about to change, as a swath of cold air is expected, by weather experts, to move into the area this week, bringing the chance for some very fall and winter-like weather. Now, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey are about to get much colder this week. So, if you’re someone who loves when it actually feels like winter, or at least winter-ish, this week might be for you.
Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey Weather Predictions
According to the National Weather Service, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey are all about to get much colder in the next few days. Philadelphia is expected to be almost 70 on Monday, November 18, but by Thursday, the high goes down to the upper-40s. That’s more than a 20 degree temperature change. Likewise, in New Jersey, the temperature drops from the mid-60s on Monday to the upper-40s on Thursday. In Delaware, you’re looking at hitting those 40s by Friday. Get ready to listen to Christmas music, right? By this weekend, thought, the temperatures are back in the upper-50s for much of the Northeast, so not as cold.
Let’s say you really want to see some snow this holiday season. If so, you might want to check out the snowiest cities in America. The experts at the Farmer’s Almanac have put out a tally of the snowiest cities in America, based on a few criteria. Mainly, they only looked at cities with at least 10,000 people. If they hadn’t done they, the tally would have mainly Alaskan towns. It’s really wild to see how much snow these towns get. They also used official NOAA data on annual snowfall totals to figure out which cities get the most white stuff.
The No. 1 snowiest city in the country, according to the Farmer’s Almanac, is Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. “One of the oldest French settlements in North America, Sault Ste. Marie is near the river bank connecting Lake Huron and Lake Superior,” they note. “With lake-effect snow, it’s no surprise that it’s one of the snowiest places in the United States. Sault Ste. Marie has received an average snowfall of 119.3 inches per year.” That’s certainly a lot of snow. Too much, if you ask me, but if you love snow, it’s perfect for you. No. 2 on their tally was Syracuse, New York, in the upstate New York area. They get 114.3 inches per year of snow on average. Another city near there, Buffalo. gets about 92 inches of snow a year. Choc it up to a lot of lake-effect snow.
