| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Snow fell over Northwest New Jersey from Sunday afternoon the 7th into the early Monday morning on the 8th. Accumulations in Sussex County averaged around three inches. Accumulations across Warren, Morris, Northern Hunterdon and Northern Somerset Counties averaged around two inches. The snow fell at a fairly consistent rate. This combined with the heaviest precipitation occurring on a Sunday night reduced the number of accidents. Flurries lingered into the morning of the 8th, but the steady snow was over well before the morning commute. Across most of the northwest part of the state the snow mixed with or changed to rain during the evening of the 7th. Accumulations included 3.5 inches in Sussex (Sussex County), 3.2 inches in Montague (Sussex County), 3 inches in Wantage (Sussex County), 2.2 inches in Stewartsville (Warren County), 2 inches in Newton (Sussex County), Flemington (Hunterdon County) and Long Valley (Morris County) and 1.8 inches in Somerville (Somerset County). A low pressure system was located in the central Ohio Valley the morning of the 7th. A second low formed along the primary low's warm frontal boundary in North Carolina the evening of the 7th. This low became the main low and quickly moved offshore on the 8th. By 7 a.m. EST on the 8th, the low was already about 275 statute miles east of Fenwick Island, Delaware. The fast track moved precipitation in and out of the area quickly and prevented heavy snow from occurring. |
