| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The run of unseasonably warm weather came to an abrupt end during the day on the 3rd as snow fell over most of Central and Northwest New Jersey. A strong cold front on the 2nd brought in a colder air mass into the Northeast the night of the 2nd and the morning of the 3rd. Meanwhile a low pressure system developed in Eastern Texas the morning of the 2nd. It moved into the Tennessee Valley the morning of the 3rd before it jumped and redeveloped along the Middle Atlantic Coast near Norfolk the evening of the 3rd. It quickly moved out to sea overnight. Snow began falling around noon on the 3rd and was over by midnight. In the central part of the state, precipitation type was partially intensity driven. When it became lighter, it mixed with or changed to sleet and rain. During heavier bursts precipitation went back to all snow. The recent warm weather caused considerably less snow to accumulate on roadways. The heaviest snow fell during the afternoon hours and did cause some slippery travel. Accumulations averaged between 2 and 4 inches, with some higher amounts over the higher terrain in the northwest part of the state. Snowfall accumulations included 5 inches in Wantage (Sussex County), 4.5 inches in Jefferson Township (Morris County), 4 inches in White House Station (Hunterdon County) and Montague (Sussex County), 3.5 inches in New Brunswick (Middlesex County), 3 inches in Wertsville (Hunterdon County), Pottersville (Somerset County) and Boonton (Morris County) and 2.5 inches in Princeton (Mercer County). |
