Does the regional rail tend to run when there's a few (1-3) inches of snow on the ground?

Or if the SEPTA folks can’t get to work.

Yes. Fallen leaves is a bigger issue.

Predicted for next Saturday

No chance it'll accumulate, the ground needs to be cold enough for it to stick at all, and it's going to be so warm in the all the days leading up to Saturday that even if it does snow, it'll all melt before piling up.

Sometimes they operate a Saturday schedule.
Frozen switches are an issue (and snow can get compacted into the switches).

The ground will be way too warm for snow to stick.
This “winter” can GFI.

Yes, but 15-30 minutes later than usual.

It depends on where it's coming from/going to.

Yes, unless ice is knocking down power lines the trains normally keep running, but probably with some delays
