What happened
The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
A strong cold front swept through eastern Pennsylvania early in the morning on the 10th. Some snow squalls accompanied this front as it moved through between 7 AM EST and 9 AM EST. As colder air arrived, coupled with an upper-level disturbance, it produced some more snow squalls between 2 PM EST and 5 PM EST. Reported accumulations were generally an inch or less, but the combination of the snow, strong winds and below freezing temperatures caused hazardous driving conditions.
What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 10, 6:48 AM EST, 12 minutes earlier.
