It certainly hasn't snowed a lot around Philadelphia in the past couple of years.

The 3.3 inches of snow that officially fell at Philadelphia International Airport this past Monday night and Tuesday morning ended an incredible 715-day snow drought.

Yes, it was about two years since the city saw more than an inch of snowfall.

Now, another storm system is headed toward the City of Brotherly Love and this one could drop more snow than the previous.

Just How Much?

The National Weather Service says 4-6" of the white stuff could fall on the city.

If the higher end of that forecast comes true, it will be the first time in an incredible 1,128 days that Philadelphia gets at least six inches of snow in a single day.

That stat comes from our friends at the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Mt. Holly.

Traffic Troubles

One thing to keep in mind: unlike the last storm when most of the yucky weather fell as most people were sleeping, this time, snow will fall during the daytime hours, which could impact both the morning and evening commutes. You might want to give yourself a little extra time.

What About New Jersey?

Parts of the Garden State could get a respectable amount of snow out of this system as well.

As of Thursday morning, Townsquare Media's Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow says a wide area could receive 2-4 inches.

Philly's Biggest Snowstorms

While 4-6" of snow is a lot, relatively speaking, it is nowhere near the biggest storms in Philadelphia history. Here are the top three:

1. January 6-8, 1996 (The Blizzard of '96) — 31"
2. February 5-6, 2010 — 28.5"
3. December 19-20, 2009 — 23.2"
