The Delaware Valley experienced a double whammy of snow storms this week, as Mother Nature unleashed her wintry fury on the region. The consecutive storms brought significant amounts of snow, causing disruptions in schools and businesses.

On Tuesday, the first snow storm blanketed the region with more than three inches of snow in some areas. Not long after, on Friday, another storm swept through, dumping as much as seven inches of snow on the Delaware Valley.

Several cities in Pennsylvania reported varying snow totals, according to the National Weather Service. In West Philadelphia, a total of 5.9 inches of snow was reported, while Philadelphia International Airport recorded 4.6 inches. Overall, the city of Philadelphia experienced a snowfall ranging from four to six inches during Friday's storm.

Meanwhile, the Lehigh Valley area received substantially less snow compared to other parts of the region. Snowfall totals in that area were considerably lower.

Delaware saw the heaviest accumulation of snow, transforming Kent and New Castle counties into a picturesque winter wonderland. In neighboring New Jersey, Atlantic, Cumberland, and Gloucester Counties were hit particularly hard with over 5 inches of snow.

These recent snowstorms have already exceeded the average January snowfall for Philadelphia, which typically sees an average of 7.1 inches during this month. With February historically being the snowiest month in the region, residents are bracing themselves for what Mother Nature has in store.

As the region has already experienced above-normal snowfall, the upcoming month will test the preparedness and resilience of the Delaware Valley.
