AL DÍA's staff share #PHLsnow photos
Now that winter storm Jonas is over the clean-up begins for Philadelphians.
The Emergency Operation Center reported that on Saturday night snow totals outside its building measured 30.8 inches. Snowfall at Philadelphia International Airport measured 22.4 inches. Lehigh Valley Live reported " 31.9 inches — a record 30.2 inches on Saturday alone" in the Lehigh Valley.
On Sunday temperatures will warm up to around freezing which will bring some melt throughout the day with a potential for refreeze tonight.

A Code Blue remains in effect. Persons observing homeless individuals outside during the storm are requested to call the outreach hotline at 215-232-1984. Police are performing wellness checks when requested.
Officials caution Philadelphians to stay off the roads as crews continue to plow snow. Multi-agency crews, led by the Philadelphia Streets Department, are at full level and will continue snow removal operations. Philadelphia Streets Department reports 415 plows on city streets with 675 personnel working on this storm response. Road clearing remains challenging due to rate of snowfall and the storm sustained and gusting winds.
PennDot reports that plowing and salting operations continue and a commercial vehicle restriction remains in effect for state interstates.
The Snow Emergency is still in effect. The Police Department and the Philadelphia Parking Authority continue to relocate vehicles from Snow Emergency routes. They also remind vehicle owners that the Snow Emergency remains in effect until it is officially lifted and routes should remain clear of vehicles until such time. If your vehicle is relocated, call 215-686-SNOW. Do not call 911.

Philadelphia’s 3-1-1 will operate throughout the storm, opening Sunday at 8 a.m. through midnight and will begin taking calls Monday at 6 a.m. It is imperative that residents call 3-1-1 with non-emergencies to reduce unnecessary demand on the city’s 9-1-1 emergency system.
Make sure you call 311 for all non-emergencies. They're open until midnight tonight. https://t.co/YKg9NYk4VR
