A fast-moving storm Friday night into Saturday spared most areas but dumped more than a foot in other locations. The further north you were, the more likely you were to see higher accumulations.

The widely varying totals was due to a heavy banding of snow that affected a narrow area, stretching from Berks County east across the Lehigh Valley, to Raritan Bay in New Jersey.
