| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A moist south to southeast flow from Delaware Bay passing over road surfaces that were very cold from the recent deep freeze helped black ice to form on roadways, bridges and overpasses the morning of the 22nd. This thin layer of ice is virtually impossible to detect and helped contribute to three traffic fatalities and over 100 injuries in the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan Area. More than 80 of the injuries occurred within Southern New Jersey as medivac helicopters were used in Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Ocean and Salem Counties. In Southern New Jersey one fatality occurred, a 23-year-old man was killed in a collision in Winslow Township (Camden County). |
