Winter storm slams Philadelphia region with heavy snowfall
Last updated: Tuesday, February 24, 2026 4:46AM GMT
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A major winter storm brought more than a foot of snow to Philadelphia and many other communities in the region, just as the snow from the last storm finally started to melt.
Snow totals even topped 20 inches in spots as a nor'easter struck the region Sunday and lingered well into Monday.
The storm will go down in the record books from Philadelphia north to Boston.
In Philadelphia, we officially received 14 inches of snow, placing this storm as our 17th largest on record.
A jackpot of 18-24" of snow was found in northern Burlington County and northern Ocean County, up toward New York City.
None of our reporting sites officially met the definition of blizzard conditions, but from Newark, NJ, up into Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, many locations have achieved blizzard conditions with a record snowfall of 32.8" in Providence.
When temperatures drop into the low to mid 20s overnight, this means a freeze of any untreated surfaces that will create icy spots for the morning.
