The New Hope-Lambertville area awoke Saturday to find a fluffy coating of snow.

The snow started Friday afternoon and continued until the early morning hours on Saturday.

The snow wasn’t enough for major plowing operations, but it did lead to road crews salting roads and plowing companies clearing local parking lots. Sledders were spotted in Bristol Borough enjoying the snow.

Below are Bucks County snow totals from the storm:

Bristol Borough: Less than an inch (reader report)
Levittown: 1.5 inches (reader report)
Bensalem Township: 1 inch (NWS)

Newtown: 2 inches (NWS)
Jamison: 2.9 inches (NWS)
New Hope: 4 inches (reader report)

Doylestown: 3.8 inches (NWS)
Hilltown Township: 3 inches (NWS)
Warminster Township: 3.1 inches (NWS)

Some flurries are expected to hang around through Saturday afternoon, but clear skies will follow and last through Monday.

Saturday is the winter solstice and marks the shortest period of daylight between sunrise and sunset. The days will begin getting longer starting on Sunday.
