Due to the chaotic nature of the storm, Chester County experienced a wide range of snowfall. Some areas had snow accumulations of nearly 3 feet, while other areas had just over a foot.

As forecasters, this storm became a very tough call. The storm was modeled to stay to the South, but quickly came North, placing Chester County in the midst of a blizzard

The video below is footage from Morgantown, Pa. It was filmed around 2:30PM on 1/23/16 during the heaviest band of the storm. This area is located along the Northwestern border of the county.
