What happened
The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
Snow fell from the evening of the 3rd through the morning of the 4th across New Jersey with the highest accumulations (1 to 3 inches) across east central New Jersey. Snow fell elsewhere in the state, but accumulations were generally less than one inch. The snow was caused by a combination of factors: a low pressure system that moved off the southeastern Atlantic Coast on the morning of the 4th, an upper air disturbance that moved through the lower Delmarva Peninsula the same morning and some of the moisture that backed its way from the central Atlantic Ocean. This moisture was associated with the winter storm that mainly affected the Delmarva on January 29th and 30th. Untreated roadways were slippery, especially in Monmouth County. As daylight began on the 4th, additional snow had a difficult time accumulating. In fact precipitation ended as light rain in southeastern New Jersey. Specific accumulations included 3.0 inches in Manasquan, Belmar, Clarksburg and Marlboro (all Monmouth County), 2.0 inches in New Lisbon (Burlington County) and Freehold (Monmouth County), 1.6 inches in Hightstown (Mercer County), 1.5 inches in Metuchen (Middlesex County), 1.1 inches in Wrightstown (Burlington County) and 1.0 inch in Brant Beach (Ocean County).
