If I was a forecaster....I would be telling my LHV folks this will be south of them and likely south of the M/D line for "best" relative snows....but what do I know??
We have had some off and on light snow flurries this morning across the area and in fact are seeing some now here in East Nantmeal. The sun will return today and while we will be below average with temps not too far above freezing we will see some good snow melt with the increasing sun angle. Cloudier tomorrow with a couple clipper type systems the first one tomorrow night and another toward Saturday AM. The first one may bring a coating of snow while the second one on Saturday could bring a small accumulation of snow especially to more southern areas. Temps will remain below normal through the weekend.
Records for today: High 63 (1949) / Low 4 below (1979) / Precipitation 1.25" (2007) / Snow 10.0" (1899)

We ended up with 10.5" of snow here in NW Chester County. The rain changed to sleet around 430am and over to snow at around 530am. We had heavy snow and ended up with 7" of snow falling just between 7am and 9am. The 10.5" of snow was our 2nd largest snowstorm this decade...behind only the 16.6" of snow that fell during the first 3 days of February 2021. For the winter season we are now at 21.7" of snow which is only 2.1" below normal through today.
Ended with 10.5" of snow here in East Nantmeal Twp.. The 2nd largest storm this decade...behind only Feb 1 -3, 2021 when I recorded 16.6" of snow. Total for the season now stands at 21.7" which is only 2.1" below normal.
Mighty heavy snow - in the hour between 7am and 8am we picked up 3.3" of snow! Now up to 5.3" so far. Been a long time since I measured more in an hour here in East Nantmeal
It attempts to do a better job at elevation impacts hence why it tries to show the double digit snow totals here in NW Chesco above 700 ft....whether it is right or not......
NWS put all of Chester County in Winter Storm Warning but specified only higher elevation spots to the north in the county may hit the warning criteria.
Southern areas of Chester County will likely not get
to warning-level snow. The highest amounts will be confined to
the northern part of the county and highest elevations.
