| episode_narrative | A low pressure system formed off the South Carolina Coastal waters on the morning of the 1st. It moved north during the next two days and was about 200 miles east of Cape Hatteras at dawn on the 2nd and about 150 miles east of Atlantic City during the afternoon. Its storm track was far enough offshore to place the axis of heavy snow across New Jersey. Very little snow fell farther west.Snow began just after midnight on the 2nd and fell at a heavy clip almost from the start. The heavy snow was over by noon. Accumulations of 6 to 8 inches were fairly common throughout the southern half of the state. Around 6 inches of snow fell in Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth Counties; 4 to 5 inches in Morris, Hunterdon and Somerset Counties and 2 to 4 inches across Warren and Sussex Counties. Some representative accumulations included 9 inches at McGuire AFB and Tabernacle, 8 inches in Mount Holly, Toms River and Washington Township (Gloucester County), 7 inches in Marlboro and Cherry Hill and 6 inches in Pilesgrove, Iselin, Atlantic City and Cape May City.Because this snow fell on a Saturday morning, the number of accidents was held down. There were two separate crashes involving buses with snow as a contributing factor. In Old Bridge Township at 520 a.m., a 65-year-old man passsenger was killed on a Gray Line Tour Bus as it slid and overturned on the Garden State Parkway. Thirty-four other people were injured. The parkway was closed for seven hours between the Asbury Park and Raritan Toll Plazas. At 8 a.m. in Hammonton a Greyhound Bus coming from Atlantic City collided with a Chevrolet Monte Carlo that was spinning out of control on the Atlantic City Expressway. Forty-six passengers were injured. |
