The final accumulation falls short of the more bullish forecasters, who saw the county getting eight inches on the short end and up to 14 inches at the high end.
However, forecasters had noted a "gradient" in the storm in the Montgomery County, which had predicted sharply different snow totals in Philadelphia: the county line was forecasted to receive four to eight inches.
Despite the heavy snowfall, very few power outages were reported Thursday morning, according to PECO. Additionally, there are no major road closures, though the county did respond to 273 accidents, 202 disabled vehicles, and more than 600 calls to 911 during the storm.
