How Much Snow Did The Lower Merion Area Get?

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA – How much snow did the "bomb cyclone" drop on the Lower Merion area Thursday?

Let's check with the National Weather Service, as officials with the service have compiled snowfall totals for the area following Thursday's storm.

According to the most recent totals from the National Weather Service, 3.5 inches of snow accumulated in Wynnewood. Other snow totals in the area include 5 inches in Bryn Mawr, 4.5 inches in King of Prussia, 4 inches in Broomall, and 4.4 inches in Berwyn

In some places, the mega bomb cyclone storm didn't produce the accumulations one would assume would be associated with such a threatening name. But in others, like the Jersey Shore, the storm exceeded expectations and a worst-case scenario played out.

Thursday's storm forced the Lower Merion School District to close Thursday and Friday, and prompted Lower Merion Township to issue a snow emergency.

There are also some changes to the public transit schedule. Due to the harsh weather that has gripped the Philadelphia region, SEPTA officials have decided to enact a Saturday schedule for its Regional Rail trains on Friday, Jan. 5. Click here for details on that.
