2.3 inches at midnight. This is definitely a heavy wet snow. I'm finally up to double digits for the season.

Recorded 3.8 inches here in extreme western Delco. That dry slot prevented me from hitting the NWS 4-6 totals on their map. But it was a decent little storm regarding the snow rates between 5 and 7 PM.

After the last couple of winters, it feels like a Herculean effort to get a plowable event.

Over a half inch here in Chadds Ford, PA , 20miles west of Philly Int.

Hello neighbor! It sure came down quick between 1 am and 4 am! Over 3 inches now.

3.3 inches herein Chadds Ford Township, PA in far western Delaware County.

5 inches already between Qtown and Allentown?....Holy crap!

I'm worried about getting dry slotted here in the Delaware/Chester County area.

Bravo to NWS Mount Holly! They stuck their nose out when others we mocking their storm totals map and their WSWs. Here in Chadds Ford Township, PA, I ended up with 5.3 inches, which was the biggest storm in two years..... since the 5 incher in late Jan 2022.

My cousin was having a baby shower in Shillington that day, which I was planning to attend. Shillington only saw around 2 inches but down my way in Chadds Ford, we saw 7 inches. Roads were all shutdown from accidents and I couldn't go up there because there were near whiteout conditions .

Nope. This one was in February, when the Eagles usually don't play. The storm you are thinking about was the December 2013 event, which dropped 8 inches in South Philly. That was during the Eagles game. That came from an overrunning setup, vastly different from a Norlun trough setup.

Attached is a great read of the Feb 3-4, 2009 event, which might be very similar to this one. https://www.weather.gov/phi/02032009wss

I remember a Norlun trough in February of 2009 which setup over Philadelphia and Gloucester/Camden Counties. This sucker dropped up to 10 inches in the City of Philadelphia and up to a foot in Gloucester county. South of West Chester, where I live, only saw 4 inches. I think parts of Lancaster County (Manheim Twp.) got 12 inches in another very narrow band (10 miles wide).

This is the my Final Call snow map that I made around noon today.

Finally a storm that didn't bust for the Philly Metro.
