What happened
The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
On the heels of the wintry mix from the 8th, another low pressure system formed across the southeastern United States and moved off the south Atlantic Coast. The northern edge of its precipitation shield reached into the Poconos the morning of April 9th. Enough cold air remained in place near the ground for precipitation to fall as light freezing rain in the higher terrain of the Poconos. Ice accretions were generally one tenth of an inch or less. Untreated roads and walkways were slippery. The low pressure system went from Mississippi the morning of April 8th into the upper Tennessee Valley that evening. The low pressure system then reformed along the Georgia and South Carolina coast overnight and moved offshore of the Carolina Coast the afternoon of the 9th. The Poconos were along the northwestern edge of this low pressure system's precipitation shield.
