After Saturday's snowfall, there is Monday to contend with.

Snowfall Saturday ranged from a dusting in much of Camden and Gloucester Counties to 7 inches in West Rockhill Township, Bucks County, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly.

Many areas saw sleet, rain, and freezing rain. Heavier snow fell in the Lehigh Valley.

Another snowstorm is expected to start late Sunday night with a potential of dumping an additional 2 to 3 inches on the region into Monday night.

Commuters may well face slick and snow-covered roads during their morning and evening commutes Monday, said meteorologist Sarah Johnson.

On Saturday, the region had braced for the worst but got a reprieve of sorts.

No major weather-related accidents were reported by police in the Philadelphia area, including South Jersey.

Early in the day, about 1,000 Peco customers lost power, mostly in Philadelphia and in Delaware County, a Peco spokeswoman said. By midafternoon, the number was 379, and those customers were expected to regain power by the end of the day, the spokeswoman said.

SEPTA experienced some delays of trains and trolleys, as well as a few bus detours because of the bad weather. The system was running on-time or close to on-time later in the day after the storm passed through, a spokeswoman said.

Early Saturday, about two dozen scheduled departing and arriving flights were canceled at Philadelphia International Airport, an airport spokeswoman said. As the day went on, all flights were an average of 35 minutes late, the spokeswoman said.

Among many cancellations, the inclement weather compelled school districts around the region to postpone SAT tests scheduled Saturday in communities including Bensalem, Norristown, Abington, and Burlington City.

On Saturday, the official snow total in Philadelphia was 1 inch at Philadelphia International Airport.

Other snowfall totals Saturday:

Bucks County, 2 to 7 inches.

Montgomery County, 2 to 6 inches.

Delaware County, 1 to 3 inches.

Chester County, 1 to 5 inches.

Burlington County, 1 to 3 inches.

Gloucester County, a dusting to 1 inch.

Camden County, a dusting to 1 inch.
