“The snow is very heavy,” Gallagher said. “The first 5 inches came down and it was really light. It was pretty quick. But when that ice came down for about four to five hours, then we had snow on top of it, it was super heavy.”
In King of Prussia, nearly a foot of snow covered sidewalks.
“Once the work is done and you’re able to walk around in the depth of the snow, it’s fantastic, and to take the dog for a walk,” Rich Lindelow said about shoveling snow.

“We were out early yesterday and then we came out later in the afternoon and then again this morning,” Lindelow said.
Meanwhile, his neighbors were out snow blowing and shoveling even as the snow continued to fall.
“When I was younger, we had storms like this all the time, so it’s nice to get this,” Lindelow said.
