What happened
The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
A cold front that moved through the Middle Atlantic States during the night of the 3rd was preceded by a period of snow across the state of New Jersey. Snow began falling during the late afternoon hours and lingered through the evening. The heaviest snow coincided with the evening commute home, especially across the western half of New Jersey. Accumulations were quite uniform and ranged between 1 and 2 inches. The exception was in southeast New Jersey, where the snow began later (in the evening). Accumulations there were generally under half an inch. While accumulations were considerably lighter than what fell during the two largest snow storms during the second half of January, it coincided with the evening commute home. Untreated roads were slippery. Accumulations included 2 inches in Long Valley (Morris County) and Belvidere (Warren County), 1.7 inches in Mount Holly (Burlington County) and New Brunswick (Middlesex County), 1.4 inches in West Windsor (Mercer County), 1 inch in Swedesboro (Gloucester County) and 0.4 inches in Estell Manor (Atlantic County).
