| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Light sleet and freezing rain overspread much of Sussex County and the northwest valleys of Morris County during the first half of the day on the 18th. Precipitation started in the early morning as sleet and freezing rain and slowly changed over to plain rain after sunrise. Precipitation was all rain by around 9 a.m. in Morris County. Precipitation ended by noon, but even then High Point in far northwestern Sussex County was still experiencing freezing rain. Storm totals were generally under a quarter of an inch. Untreated roadways were hazardous. A low pressure system in the Mississippi Valley pumped moisture east into the Middle Atlantic States. Unfortunately while it was warm enough for rain above the ground, the cold air near the surface left by a departing high pressure system made precipitation fall as sleet and/or freezing rain. |
