WHYY By Jones pounces a ball at Rittenhouse Square. (Kimberly Paynter/WHYY) Snow began to descend on the Philadelphia area early Sunday afternoon, eventually blanketing the city in a thick, white coat. By Monday morning, a few fluffy inches of snow had accumulated, and weather experts predict that more snow is still to come — up to 16 inches in some areas Monday — along with intense winds. The snow has disrupted various city services: SEPTA detoured various bus routes and local playgrounds have closed. Good luck to all the Philadelphia residents who expected sanitation trucks Monday and Tuesday; garbage pick-up for those routes is now happening for them next Monday and Tuesday.
