The snow may have gotten a late start, but by Wednesday evening was falling steadily throughout Bucks County.
As flakes fell, closures began. Montgomery County closed offices at 2 p.m. Some schools, including Quakertown Community School District in Upper Bucks, called an early dismissal.
Less snowfall is expected than initially anticipated, but a foot of snow still is expected in some parts of the county into Thursday morning.
Previous forecasts called for up to two feet of snow in Central and Upper Bucks, but late Wednesday morning, Trent Davis, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey, said Doylestown and north of it is likely looking at 8 to 12 inches of snow
