Sunday's winter weather brings more snow and ice to Philly region
After some snow landed in the Philly region on Saturday, a second round made its way through the region on Sunday.
The storm started at about 5 a.m. on Sunday, with flurries coming down until about 8 p.m. Across the Philly region, snowfall totals landed somewhere between 1-5″.
The largest snow totals was up in the Lehigh Valley and upper Berks County, while the Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches saw the lowest amounts of snow due to some precipitation turning into rain.
The winter weather was creating icy and snowy roads in the region. In Trenton, New Jersey, roads were able to be plowed, but ice and snow along the sidewalks remained a concern.
Freezing temperatures are expected to continue overnight and into Monday morning, creating the possibility of black ice on roadways, so drive carefully.
To identify black ice, look out for asphalt that appears wet or shiny, as well as areas where other cars appear to be sliding. If your car does drive over black ice, avoid quick or sharp movements with your steering wheel.
It’s also important to remember that snow isn’t all bad. Many people, including children, in the Philly region got to enjoy their Sunday in the winter wonderland. Take a look:
Saturday’s storm
Snow showers began at around 7 a.m. on Saturday for the Pennsylvania Suburbs, Berks County and the Lehigh Valley and persisted into the early afternoon. Totals reached up to 5″, but reached about 1″ in Philly.
The snow on Saturday has already created slick and dangerous conditions on the roads, causing several crashes, including a 12-car crash on I-78 in Berks County.
In anticipation of Sunday’s snow, Montgomery County issued a snow alert emergency that went into effect at 7 p.m. on Jan. 17, 2026 for Lansdale.
At least two other jurisdictions in Montgomery County, North Wales Borough and Upper Gwynedd, also declared snow emergencies on Saturday night.
