Mid-Atlantic snowstorm piles up record daily totals across PA, DE and NJ

A powerful nor’easter dumped heavy snow across the Mid-Atlantic, breaking daily records in Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Trenton and Wilmington. By midday, Atlantic City neared 17 inches and Philadelphia about 14 inches, with Mount Holly forecasting up to 20 inches; Sussex County, Del., saw as much as 19 inches, and parts of Monmouth and Middlesex counties in New Jersey reported over two feet. While these are notable daily records, meteorologists say the winter’s total snowfall is unlikely to reach long‑term seasonal records, which exceed about 70 inches in some winters. The storm should taper off this afternoon with potential coastal flooding in low‑lying areas, and additional snow is possible later in the week.
