Blizzard Watch Issued, Snow Totals Topping 1 Foot Forecasted

We are less than 36 hours from the anticipated arrival of the winter storm (named "Jonas" by the Weather Channel), and much of Southeastern PA including Lower Montco, Lower Bucks, Philadelphia, Chester and Delaware counties have been converted to a Blizzard Watch until 10:00AM Sunday.  North and West areas remain under a Winter Storm watch until 7:00AM Sunday.  The criteria for a Blizzard include sustained winds of 35MPH along with heavy snowfall.

The National Weather Service in Mt Holly, Nj released the following map of anticipated snow Totals through Sunday morning about an hour ago:
With the Lansdale area in the 12-18" zone, expect to do quite a bit of shoveling this weekend!

Stay tuned for updates.
