While it’s not technically a “White Christmas,” some communities in the Delaware Valley received a dusting of snow and freezing rain Tuesday morning.
Areas closer to Philadelphia saw only a trace of powder, but farther north and west in the Lehigh Valley, some spots expanded by more than an inch as a wintry mix moved through the region.
Here’s a look at the snow totals reported so far by the National Weather Service in Mount Holly:
- Benedenberg Bethel: 1.2 inches
- Slaton: 1.2 inches
- Bushkill: 1.1 inches
- New hope: 1 inch
- Salisbury: 0.7 inches
- West Caln: 0.7 inches
- Yardley: 0.5 inches
- Berwyn: 0.4 inches
- East Coventry: 0.3 inches
The city of Philadelphia did get a dusting of snow on Tuesday, but totals for Philadelphia International Airport have not yet been reported by the NWS. By comparison, on Friday, December 20, the airport reported 0.1 inches. Farther north, Allentown got 3.7 inches last Friday.
A winter weather advisory remains in effect for Chester, Camden, Delaware, Gloucester, New Castle, Salem, northwest Burlington, eastern Montgomery and Lower Bucks counties until 1 p.m. Tuesday.
