| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A low pressure system formed to the lee of the Southern Rockies the morning of December 28th and moved east into the Tennessee Valley the morning of the 29th. A second low pressure system formed along the South Carolina Coast the morning of the 29th and intensified rapidly as it moved northward and became the main low pressure system. The low moved inland along the New Jersey shore the night of the 29th and by 7 a.m. EST on the 30th it was located in southern Vermont.Sussex and Warren Counties were far enough to the west of the low pressure system's storm track for precipitation to start as snow around sunset on the 29th, before changing over to sleet and rain during that evening and then go back to snow during the morning of the 30th. The duration of precipitation as snow was longest in the northwest part of Sussex County. Accumulations in Sussex County average 3 to 5 inches and accumulations in Warren County averaged between 1 and 3 inches. Precipitation ended as snow a bit farther southeast in New Jersey also, but accumulations were generally under an inch. Accumulations included 6.5 inches in Wantage (Sussex County), 4 inches in Newton (Sussex County), 3 inches in Montague (Sussex County) and 1 inch in Hackettstown (Warren County). |
