What happened

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

Snow fell across central and southern Delaware between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST on the 24th. Accumulations averaged 1 to 2 inches. Temperatures dropped below freezing when the snow started and untreated roads were slippery.

Specific accumulations included 2.0 inches in Lewes and Bridgeville(Sussex County), 1.8 inches in Houston (Kent County), 1.1 inches in Dover (Kent County), 1.0 inch in Greenwood (Sussex County) and 0.5 inches in Georgetown (Sussex County).

The snow was caused by a low pressure system that formed over the North Carolina coastal waters on the morning of the 24th. The low pressure system moved quickly eastnortheast and by 7 pm EST on the 24th was already about 325 miles east of Fenwick Island, Delaware. The fast movement offshore kept accumulations down and also prevented snow from spreading into northern Delaware.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 24, 10:24 AM EST, 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 24, 10:24 AM EST, 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1024 AM EST THU JAN 24 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DROP DOWN OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION
TODAY WHILE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS NEAR THE NORTH
CAROLINA/VIRGINA BORDER. THE LOW INTENSIFIES OFF THE NEW JERSEY
COAST BEFORE RAPIDLY MOVING NORTHEAST INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE FRIDAY AND INTO
SATURDAY. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH MAY CROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY WHILE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS AND INTENSIFIES OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST. THIS LOW WILL
SLOWLY DRIFT NORTHEAST THROUGH TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE REGION MONDAY, BEFORE A FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATE TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
TODAYS FORECAST STILL FOCUSES AND DEPENDS ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND
TRACK OF THE COASTAL LOW. ALL INDICATIONS ARE FOR AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE TO DEVELOP NEAR THE NORTH CAROLINA/VIRGINIA BORDER, THEN
MOVE OFFSHORE AND INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD. AS THE LOW
INTENSIFIES, WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT AND WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL
BEGIN TO DEVELOP, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE 285/280K LEVEL. AT THE SAME
TIME, A WEAK FRONT WILL BE MOVING SOUTH OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES
REGION AND CROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY. WITH A PRETTY SHARP,
COLD MID/UPPER TROUGH, SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA BY THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, AS THE LOW INTENSIFIES OFF
THE COAST BY MIDDAY, WRAP-AROUND STRATIFORM SNOW WILL DEVELOP AND
AFFECT MAINLY OUR COASTAL COUNTIES. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE
THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE ALL SNOW, EXCEPT OUR EXTREME SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF DELAWARE WHERE SOME RAIN MIGHT MIX IN AT THE ONSET,
BUT THEN CHANGE OVER TO SNOW. THE HEAVIEST SNOW SHOULD BE CONFINED
TO OUR SOUTH AND EASTERN COUNTIES, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST. WE
HAVE ISSUED A SNOW ADVISORY FOR SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, WHERE 1 TO 3
INCHES IS POSSIBLE, AS WELL AS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN DELMARVA,
WHERE 1 TO 2 INCHES IS POSSIBLE. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS, POSSIBLY
DUE TO LOCAL DRIFTING SNOW AS THE WINDS PICK UP LATER IN THE DAY
AS THE LOW INTENSIFIES, ARE POSSIBLE AND SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE
IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS. AS MY COLLEAGUE POINTED OUT, THESE TYPES
OF FORECASTS ARE INTERESTING BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL WAKE UP IN THE
MORNING WITH VERY LITTLE CLOUD COVER, AND POSSIBLY END UP WITH A
COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND BY THE END OF THE DAY. WITH
THIS KIND OF SYSTEM, THE SNOW DOES NOT NECESSARILY MOVE IN FROM
ANOTHER AREA, RATHER DEVELOP NEARLY RIGHT OVER HEAD DUE TO THE
DYNAMICS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
ANY SNOW THAT FALL ACROSS THE AREA WILL BE TAPERING OFF EARLY THIS
EVENING AS THE LOW RAPIDLY MOVES TO THE NORTHEAST AND THE WEAK
FRONT MOVES OFF THE COAST. IN THE WAKE OF THESE SYSTEMS, SKIES
WILL BEGIN TO CLEAR OVERNIGHT AND COLD AIR WILL BEGIN TO FILTER
IN. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE OVERNIGHT, PRODUCING WIND CHILLS DOWN
IN THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR MANY AREAS. A COOL NORTHWEST BREEZE WILL
REMAIN THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE REGION
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH AND MID/UPPER
LEVEL SHORT WAVE MAY CROSS THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT, BUT
INDICATIONS ARE WE SHOULD REMAIN PRECIP FREE. TEMPERATURES SHOULD
REMAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL IN THE SHORT TERM.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SQUEEZE INTO THE AREA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY BETWEEN
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP AND INTENSIFY
OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT TO THE WEST. THE LOW PRESSURE OFF THE
COAST IS FORECAST TO REMAIN WELL OFFSHORE AND SLOWLY DRIFT TO THE
NORTHEAST THROUGH TUESDAY. IF IT DOES AS FORECAST, IT WILL NOT
BRING ANY AFFECTS TO OUR AREA. HOWEVER, AS WE KNOW, THE CLOSER YOU
GET TO AN EVENT, THINGS DO CHANGE AND THESE SYSTEMS CAN MOVE
CLOSER TO THE COAST, SO WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS
SYSTEM. THE NEXT QUESTION IS THE TIMING OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT WILL BE MOVING
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES BY MIDWEEK. THE CURRENT FORECAST IS FOR
IT TO MOVE THROUGH EITHER LATE NEXT TUESDAY OR EARLY WEDNESDAY,
SO WE WILL MAINTAIN A CHANCE OF PRECIP FOR TUESDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY AT THIS POINT. TEMPERATURES ARE
FORECAST TO WARM UP IN THE LONG TERM, BUT REMAIN ONLY A FEW
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
BEFORE THE DAY IS THROUGH, WELL HAVE GONE THROUGH THREE FLIGHT
CATEGORIES ESPECIALLY FOR OUR TAF SITES IN DE/NJ. LOW PRESSURE WILL
BE DEVELOPING TODAY AND BRINGING A QUICK SHOT OF SNOW TO THE REGION
WITH HEAVIEST BEING TOWARD THE COASTLINE. CONDITIONS THIS MORNING
ARE VFR AND SHOULD REMAIN THAT THROUGH MOST OF THE MORNING INTO
EARLY AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME, THERE ARE OVERCAST SKIES
THROUGHOUT THE REGION. BASES ARE GENERALLY IN A PRETTY UNIFORM
DECK LAYER FROM 4 TO 6,000 FT. NO HIGH LEVEL CLDS AT THIS TIME.

THE LOW PRESSURE HAS FORMED JUST OFF THE CAROLINA COAST AND WILL
MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST SPREADING THE SNOW FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. THE
LOWEST FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL BE IN THAT PERIOD OF 17-23Z MORE SO
THE SECOND HALF OF THAT TIMEFRAME.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN AS THE LOW MOVES AWAY AND THE WINDS SWING
TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST THIS EVENING REACHING SPEEDS OF 25 TO 30
KT AT THE COAST AND 15 TO 20 INLAND AREAS OF THE DELAWARE VALLEY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE TAF SITES LATE TONIGHT INTO THE
WEEKEND WITH VFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
UPDATED THE FORECAST ON THE MARINE AND PUSHED THE START TIME OF
THE SCA BACK A FEW HOURS. THE ONSET OF SCA WINDS DOES NOT LOOK TO
START UNTIL AROUND 22Z IN THE SOUTHERN WATERS AND NOT UNTIL 01Z
FOR THE NORTHERN WATERS.

THE FORECAST TODAY IS GOING TO HINGE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW
PRESSURE THAT WILL FORM OVER THE CAROLINAS THEN TRACK TO THE
NORTHEAST WHILE INTENSIFYING THIS AFTERNOON. THE QUESTION IS, JUST
HOW CLOSE TO THE COASTAL WATERS WILL THE LOW GET. THIS FORECAST IS
BASED ON IT BEING OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST THIS AFTERNOON WITH WINDS
AND SEAS INCREASING. ALTHO THERE MAY BE A GUST REACHING GALE
FORCE(34 KT) WITH A FULLY DEVELOPED LOW, WE HAVE OPTED TO ISSUE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES THAT WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM LATE THIS
AFTERNOON ON INTO FRIDAY MORNING.

THE PERIOD FOR THE ROUGHEST WEATHER WILL BE FROM LATE AFTERNOON ON
AND ESPECIALLY THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE LOW MOVES AWAY AND THE
WINDS BEGIN TO PICK UP. CONTRIBUTING TO THE GRADIENT IS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. THE TWO WILL TIGHTEN THE
GRADIENT LATER TODAY. SNOW WILL BE A LITTLE HEAVY AT TIMES AND
THIS WILL LOWER THE VSBY TO UNDER 1 NM AT TIMES.

ONCE THROUGH THE EFFECTS OF THE LOW, THE WINDS WILL SETTLE DOWN ON
FRIDAY (AND TOO THE SEAS) AND THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK LOOKS
GOOD RIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED
TO BRUSH BY THE COASTAL WATERS LATE SUNDAY BUT SHOULD NOT POSE
MUCH OF A PROBLEM FOR MARINERS IN THE NEARSHORE WATERS.
