How Much Snow Actually Fell in Horsham?

It was supposed to be a historic storm, but in the end between one and two inches of snow was recorded in Montgomery County, according to the National Weather Service’s 24-hour snow totals recorded Tuesday morning.

Dire forecasts on Monday prompted officials throughout the region to issue a snow emergencies and schools to cancel classes.

But by Tuesday morning it was apparent that the winter storm that was anticipated to dump more than a foot of snow on the region didn’t materialize and Montgomery County was spared from what had been dubbed on social media as #Snowmageddon2015.

Meteorologists took to Twitter to issue apologies and explanations.

“My deepest apologies to many key decision makers and so many members of the general public,” Gary Szatkowskiof the National Weather Service in Mount Holly Tweeted early Tuesday. “You made a lot of tough decisions expecting us to get it right, and we didn’t. Once again, I’m sorry.”

Philly.com’s John Bolaris called it a failure on the part of local forecasters.

“From a forecast standpoint, it’s been a failure, or better yet, a bust,” he wrote. “The morning commute will be very slick and tricky in the locations that get the accumulating snow, along with a very cold strong and gusty wind. The last of the snow will be ending with just some leftover flurries — and some egg on the face of us meteorologists.”

Here is a look at local snow totals in Montgomery County, according to the National Weather Service:

• Hatfield: 2 inches
• Souderton: 1.8 inches
• Harleysville: 1.5 inches
• Blue Bell: 1 inch
• North Wales: 1 inch
