PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...UPDATED

           ...MARCH 19TH, 2004 SNOWSTORM...

A FAST, BUT POTENT STORM SYSTEM SWEPT ACROSS THE REGION LATE 
THURSDAY NIGHT AND LASTED THROUGH ABOUT MID-MORNING FRIDAY. 
WITH SOME CONVECTIVE BANDING EVIDENT DURING THIS STORM, MAINLY 
NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF PHILADELPHIA, SNOWFALL AMOUNTS VARIED 
GREATLY ACROSS A SHORT DISTANCE IN SOME AREAS. THERE WAS A 
CONCERN THAT SOME SNOWFALL TOTALS ACROSS CENTRAL NEW JERSEY 
AND PARTS OF THE DELAWARE VALLEY WERE A BIT HIGH, HOWEVER DUE 
TO SOME OF THE CONVECTIVE-ENHANCED BANDING (WITHIN THE OVERALL 
SNOW SHIELD), LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS WERE VERY POSSIBLE. 
ELEVATION ALSO APPEARED TO HAVE PLAYED A ROLE DURING THIS EVENT, 
HOWEVER THERE WERE SOME ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO A FEW AMOUNTS. 

AS A REMINDER, THE SNOWFALL TOTALS BELOW ARE STILL CONSIDERED 
PRELIMINARY. MOST AMOUNTS BELOW ARE STORM TOTAL, BUT PLEASE 
CHECK THE TIMES LISTED JUST IN CASE, FOR THE MOST RECENT TOTAL
IN EACH COUNTY.
