Luis Nova digs his car out of his plowed-in space in an otherwise empty parking lot at the Westmont PATCO station in Haddon Township Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026. Nova left his car there last Friday, and was in Philadelphia all weekend helping friends move and going to a goodbye party. He spent the morning sledding with friends in Clark Park in West Philadelphia. Nova said: “I knew what I was signing up for and was ready. I left all my equipment to get myself out. I spent four years in Rochester, so I have a little experience with this. The only thing I’m missing is the kitty litter I usually keep in case I have to put it under the tires.” Heavy snow bands moved through the region generating snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour.

A far-reaching winter storm blanketed the Mid-Atlantic in an icy brew of snow and sleet Sunday, with preliminary totals nearing a foot and a half in parts of New Jersey.

Philadelphia International Airport has already received its biggest snow of the season, and in five years, with 7.4 inches of snow recorded before precipitation began to transition to sleet, according to the National Weather Service.

Philadelphia ranked near the bottom end of regional totals. A survey of five regional National Weather Service offices showed PHL’s total ranked 401st of 632 reports made in the last six hours.

The Philadelphia metropolitan region generally received between four and 10 inches of snow by early Sunday afternoon, according to National Weather Service reports.

Among the highest totals:

  1. Pottstown - 9.5 inches

  2. Trappe - 9.4 inches

  3. New Hanover - 9.3 inches

  4. Bedminster - 9.2 inches

  5. Boothwyn - 9 inches

Further north, as much as 17 inches of snow had fallen as of 5:30 p.m. in Stockholm, N.J. — part of Hardyston. A trained spotter in Washington, D.C., reported about seven inches of snow and ice as of 1 p.m. New York City’s Central Park piled up 8.8 inches by 4:15 p.m.
