| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Double barrel low pressure systems spread a mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain across Central and Southern New Jersey from the late morning through the evening on the 9th. Precipitation started as snow by noon on the 9th and changed from snow to sleet and freezing rain during the late afternoon. Strong east winds from the relatively warm Atlantic Ocean raised temperatures above the freezing mark and changed precipitation to plain rain during the early evening. The significant precipitation ended by the late evening of the 9th. Accumulations were light, mainly an inch or less. For most, this was the first measurable snowfall of the season. Although the wintry mix of precipitation did cause slippery roads, no serious accidents or traffic tie-ups were reported. The lows went from the central Ohio Valley and Georgia the morning of the 9th to Lake Huron (the former) and Boston (the latter) the morning of the 10th. Keeping separate identities prevented these lows from dropping heavier precipitation across the area. |
