Most spots in and around Philadelphia picked up only a few inches of snow, but the exact total depends on your specific neighborhood and the time of measurement.
Citywide amounts
Reports for Sunday’s storm show that snowfall across the Philadelphia metro generally ranged from about 1 to 5 inches, with a narrow band of 5 inches or more north and west of the city. Early at Philadelphia International Airport, only a trace was reported around midnight, with several additional hours of steady snow after that, so the final official city total is still being updated.
Variations by area
Regional media and weather services note that suburbs, especially to the north and west, saw higher totals than Center City. Some communities in the broader region reported more than 4 inches, while parts of the immediate city saw lighter accumulations closer to a couple of inches.
