PHILADELPHIA - Spring is just days away, and our last snowfall was more than a month ago.
So, how much of the white stuff actually fell across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware this winter?
By the numbers
The National Weather Service says 8.1 inches of snow fell in Philadelphia in 2024-25. That number is less than half of the city's average snowfall, which currently stands at 20.3 inches.
Here's how the rest of the area measured up this winter:
Allentown: 17.8 inches
Trenton: 14.2 inches
Atlantic City: 13.9 inches
Wilmington: 10 inches
The backstory
The Philadelphia area didn't see its first significant snowfall until the first week of January, with parts of Delaware seeing 12 inches of snow!
South Jersey and Delaware saw the brunt of another snowstorm last month with 8 inches of snow piling up in several counties.
The city itself ended up tackling its biggest snow day as the Eagles slid into a playoff victory during this year's "Snow Bowl" at the Linc.

Here's why Alaska just issued its first heat advisory
Parts of Alaska are under heat advisories for the first time in recorded history, following the transition from a previous advisory system, according to officials. The National Weather Service previously issued information about high temperatures using special weather statements. However, starting June 1, the weather service permitted heat advisories to be issued in Alaska, Adam Douty, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, told USA TODAY. The National Weather Service might have implemented the new system "just to better convey the impacts" of the heat, Douty said. Hawaii and the other 48 states in the contiguous United States already use heat advisories, making Alaska the last state to switch to the warning system. Areas across the state are seeing highs in the upper 80s, according to Douty. However, further up north, temperatures dip, with areas of Alaska seeing temperatures in the 60s. The heat advisory in Alaska will be in place from 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 15 to Tuesday, June 17 at 7 p.m. local time, according to the National Weather Service. Areas in the Central and Eastern Interior, including Tanana, Fairbanks, Fort Yukon and Eagle, should expect temperatures from 85 to 89 degrees. "It'll definitely be warm, especially for Alaska's standards," said Douty. There are also flood advisories in northern parts of the state, as ice and snow in the area could melt rapidly with the heat, according to Douty. Some areas in Alaska are also under red flag warnings until 11 p.m. local time on Monday, June 16. "A Red Flag Warning means that conditions are occurring or will occur which could lead to the development of large and dangerous fires," according to the National Weather Service. Areas under red flag warnings are: Dalton Highway Summits Yukon Flats White Mountains High Terrain South of the Yukon River Julia is a trending reporter for USA TODAY.

US Open in a weather delay as rain halts play during final round at Oakmont
US Open in a weather delay as rain halts play during final round at Oakmont Show Caption Hide Caption WATCH: Sam Burns discusses third round at U.S. Open at Oakmont Sam Burns speaks to reporters following the third round of the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club Saturday, June 14, in Oakmont, Pa. The final round of the 2025 U.S. Open has come to a halt. A weather delay is in place at Oakmont Country Club, just outside of Pittsburgh, with golfers on the course for the final round of the tournament. The PGA Tour said play was stopped due to "dangerous weather." Play was suspended just after 4 p.m. ET as rain came pouring down onto the course, and puddles began to form on greens. Spectators were pulling out umbrellas as golfers were playing through the initial start of the rainfall, but it became heavier, and officials ultimately decided to blow the horn. Golfers began to leave the course once play stopped. The timeline for stoppage of play has not been determined. It had been a pretty good weekend of weather for the third major of the year, as conditions have been mostly dry during play. Temperatures reached a high of around 80 degrees for the first holes, and the first moments of rain came on Friday night. However, Sunday was going to be a concerning day for weather as showers were expected. The National Weather Service reported rain showers were possible in the morning and scattered showers would take place throughout the day. Play was stopped with Sam Burns on top of the leaderboard at 2-under-par through seven holes. Adam Scott is in second place at 1-under-par. The two golfers are the only ones under par.
