We set out and charted a course through the region - where conditions ranged from extreme flurries to dusting, and even a coating to the far north and west.
Not content to sit around and wait for the snow totals to come in, we set out to see FIRST HAND what the impact was throughout the Delaware Valley.
Radar showed storms in the area, and some models indicated 1 inch while others stated 2 inches of snow could pile up before this whole mess is over.
When we left, round one was finished, and there was already a dusting in place- with even MORE forecasted for this evening. But we were not deterred. We set off from West Grove to Warminster - to bring you a first hand look at the devastation.
Cats and other animals had to tiptoe through the frigid coating.
Though our app indicated it would take an hour and 16 minutes to reach our destination, it took ALMOST an hour and 20 minutes, hampered by wet roads and salt on our windshield. At one point, traffic was at a complete standstill until a light turned green.
Roads here in the North, while mainly wet, showed signs of drifting as the coating encroached from the sidewalks.
Here at Heritage Creek, a 55 and older community, some creative and playful residents carved a head of cauliflower out of a large drift. "It wasn't me," said resident Harold Riffkin.
Another local weather watcher, Jill Shapiro, reported in with this local update: "It is going to be cold tonight."
We are glad to have so many of you contributing - it's what makes OUR blog a TRUE insider. Just use common sense when tracking dangerous weather like we have seen this year.
