Weather Authority: Wednesday morning forecast

Another chilly day as temperatures reach a high of just 38 degrees.

It's not even winter, and the Philadelphia area has already gotten its first taste of snow - but how much did we actually get?

At the airport, just a "trace" of snow fell as snow showers made their way across the Delaware Valley Tuesday morning.

Here are the snow totals for the surrounding area:

  • Broomall: 1/10 inch
  • East Coventry: 3/10 inch
  • Furlong: 3/10 inch
  • Hamilton Square: 2/10 inch

FOX 29's Sue Serio says the one-day snow fall in East Coventry and Furlong equaled last year's total for Philadelphia.

The city has gone 668 days without an inch or more of snow, and yesterday didn't help that record!

How long has Philadelphia gone without seeing over an inch of snow?

Philadelphia is in something of a snow drought, but forecasters are optimistic it could end this winter.

However, the FOX 29 Weather Authority predicts this year's snowfall to reach 26 inches!
