How much snow did we get and when will it go away? What to know in Philly, Delaware, SJ
How to safely shovel snow
The Mayo Clinic has some tips for safely shoveling snow.
The first major snowstorm of 2025 left South Jersey, Philadelphia, and Delaware buried, but how long will it last?
Most areas of South Jersey collected between 3 and 8 inches, with the Cape May area on the higher end.
Philadelphia reported around 2 inches, with slightly more in some suburbs
Much of Delaware reported between 4 and 8 inches, though some areas had significantly more.
The Jersey Shore region counted about 2 inches of snow.
How long will the snow last?
Those higher inch counts and lingering cold temps mean the snow stick around for a while.
Across much of the region, Monday’s highs struggled to hit 30 degrees and Tuesday isn’t expected to spend much time above freezing.
And anything that does melt will make for slick patches on sidewalks and streets.
The first chance at significant thawing isn’t expected until the weekend when temperatures flirt with 40 degrees.
And forecasters are already eyeing another potential snow-making storm later next week.
