Snowfall Totals and Rain Ahead

What a storm it was last week and tonight we'll be getting precipitation too, just not in the form of snow. Atlantic City did receive some snow on Saturday, NOAA measured 0.3 inches at the Atlantic City airport. Moving further northward from Atlantic City, Mount Holly National Weather Sation measured near 0.8 inches while Delran, NJ recieved 0.7 inches. I live in Moorestown, NJ for the time when I am not in school in Union, NJ and when I got back to Moorestown Sunday night, most of the 0.7 inches of snow had already melted, due to the partly sunny skies and the slightly warmer temperature near 43. There was some snow accumulation on my car. The total for Philadelphia Airport was a trace while the total for National Park in Gloucester County was a trace as well. Further North in Morris County, Marcella recieved 6.1 inches while Raldolph recieved 4.5 inches. Parts of Delware, New York and Pennsylvania recieved snow as well.
