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.

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.
I have heard several professionals say today that this has been one of the more challenging forecasts they have had....it's easy for us to post maps etc. but they need to take simply use those as one of the many tools in the proverbial toolbox and make the forecast. I truly admire the great folks we have locally in Mt. Holly!!
