More than a decade's worth of snowfall came down on Philadelphia over the weekend, bringing with it the most significant snow accumulation in years. Sunday's total of 9.3 inches at the airport broke the daily record for January 25th and left roads impassable as cleanup crews struggled to make headway amidst freezing temperatures that will linger throughout the week.
The city came to a standstill, with schools closed, public transportation reduced, and snow emergency declared in Philadelphia and New Jersey. Despite the chaos, residents made the most of their unexpected day off, braving the elements for fun-filled adventures such as sledding down iconic hills like those at the Philadelphia Art Museum.
Resident's took to social media and captured stunning photos of snow-covered streets, sidewalks, and parks. From Fairmount to Manayunk, neighborhoods were transformed into winter wonderlands, with residents showing remarkable resilience in the face of the blizzard.
Clearing snow from their homes was a top priority for many residents, who bundled up to tackle the deepening drifts. In Schwenksville, Montgomery County, crews worked tirelessly to clear roads and sidewalks, aided by volunteers like Brandon Mumbauer, Chris Cusumano, and Ric O'Neill.
As the city slowly returns to normal, it's a reminder of the joys that snowfall can bring – from sledding down hills to enjoying the peacefulness of a winter wonderland. With temperatures expected to drop further, residents are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to stay safe during the stormy weather.

and i love how residents came together to help with the cleanup efforts, totally heartwarming 
those guys from schwenksville doing their part, so cool 
. But, at the same time, it's kinda cool to see how everyone came together to deal with it - the crews working hard to clear roads, and people showing off their snow-tastic photos online 
... I just wish they'd get this city cleaned up ASAP so we can all get back to normal life
