What happened
The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
A low pressure system that traversed across the southern United States brought heavy snow to Delaware on the 16th and 17th. Snowfall averaged 3 to 8 inches with the highest amounts in the southern half of the state. The snow fell through the morning commute on the 17th and coupled with below freezing temperatures made for very hazardous travel on untreated and less traveled roadways.
The snow began across Delaware between 6 p.m. EDT and 8 p.m. EDT on the 16th. The snow fell at its heaviest between Midnight EDT and 6 a.m. EDT on the 17th, tapered off during the afternoon of the 17th and ended from north to south between 2 p.m. EDT and 7 p.m. EDT on the 17th. Delaware State Police responded to about 110 traffic accidents (14 with injuries) and assisted nearly 70 disabled vehicles. There were six traffic accidents with injuries in Sussex County, five in New Castle County and four in Kent County. A couple of the more serious accidents included a plow truck that overturned on interstate 95 in New Castle County, a car and train that collided in Ellendale in Sussex County and a vehicle that struck a tree in Harrington (Kent County). Court Houses and Delaware State Offices were closed in Kent and Sussex Counties. All schools were closed. There were municipal and school delayed openings on the 18th.| |Representative snowfall included 8.1 inches in Harrington (Kent County), 7.4 inches in Selbyville (Sussex County), 7.0 inches in Stockley and Ellendale (Sussex County), 6.9 inches in Georgetown (Sussex County), 6.4 inches in Viola (Kent County), 5.7 inches in Dover (Kent County) and Laurel (Sussex County), 5.0 inches in Glasgow (New Castle County), 4.7 inches in Bridgeville (Sussex County), 4.1 inches in Townsend (New Castle County), 3.9 inches in New Castle (New Castle County), 3.3 inches in Talley (New Castle County) and 2.5 inches at the New Castle County Airport.
The snow was caused by a pair of low pressure systems that moved across the southern part of the United States. On the morning the 16th the primary low pressure system was located over Arkansas. It moved east and at 8 p.m. EDT was located over northern Alabama. Very early on the 17th, a secondary low pressure system started forming near Wilmington, North Carolina as the primary low pressure system reached Atlanta, Georgia. While the secondary low pressure system moved offshore during the day on the 17th, the original (primary) low pressure system was slowly suppressed south as a high pressure system built into New York State. This ended the snow across Delaware.
This was the last event in which an inch or more of snow fell at the New Castle County Airport near Wilmington. The entire seasonal snowfall total at the airport was 56.1 inches and was the second snowiest season on record to the 72.8 inches of snow that fell during the 2009-10 season.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
348 PM EDT SUN MAR 16 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO OUR NORTH THROUGH TUESDAY. MEANWHILE,
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO PASS OFF THE MIDDLE
ATLANTIC COAST LATE TONIGHT BEFORE MOVING QUICKLY OUT TO SEA ON
MONDAY. ANOTHER ARE OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS INTO SOUTHERN CANADA WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY,
BRINGING FIRST A WARM FRONT THROUGH THE REGION AND THEN ITS
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW FOR THURSDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT
FROM THE WEST IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE ON FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT WHILE LOW
PRESSURE MOVES ALONG A STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS THE SE STATES. A
SECOND LOW WILL FORM ALONG THE FRONT (OFF THE E COAT) TONIGHT AND
MOVE OFF INTO THE ATLANTIC LATE. TODAYS 12Z MODEL RUNS HAVE (YOU
GUESSED IT) COME BACK TO A WETTER AND FURTHER NORTH SOLUTION,
SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY HAD A FEW DAYS AGO. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE
DECIDED TO ADD A TIER OF COUNTIES NORTH/WEST TO THE (PREVIOUS) ADVS
AND WARNINGS. SNOW TOTALS WILL BE 1 TO 2 INCHES HIGHER WITH THE
GREATEST TOTALS STILL EXPECTED OVER THE DELMARVA AND SRN NJ. THE
STORM WILL HAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON THE MORNING RUSH FOR THE METRO
AREAS...SO PLAN ON PLENTY OF EXTRA TRAVEL TIME MONDAY MORNING. THE
SNOW WILL START AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING OVER THE DELMARVA AND
ARRIVE A FEW HOURS LATER ACROSS SRN NJ AND SE PA. LITTLE IF ANY SNOW
WILL FALL OVER THE SRN POCONOS AND NRN NJ. SUB-ADV AMOUNTS (1-2
INCHES) WILL FALL ACROSS THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND BERKS COUNTY.
WINDS WILL REMAIN NORTH OR NORTHEAST TONIGHT WITH WINDS GUSTING AT
TIMES TO 20 MPH OVERNIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE TEENS
ACROSS THE NORTH AND MOSTLY LOW/MID 20S ELSEWHERE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
THE STEADY SNOWS WILL END FROM W TO E DURING THE DAY. THE ENDING
TIMES OF AROUND NOON FOR THE EXPIRATION OF THE WSW FLAGS STILL LOOKS
GOOD. THE ACCUMULATING SNOWS WILL BE OVER ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF THE
CWA WHILE THE 12Z-18Z TOTALS OVER THE DELMARVA AND SRN NJ WILL BE
1-1.5 INCHES. (SO MOST OF THE STORM ACCUMS ARE BEFORE 12Z MON).

TOP OUT IN THE LOW/MID 30S ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOME UPPER 20S FAR
NORTH.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD DOWN FROM CANADA FOR MON NIGHT INTO TUE,
BRINGING COOL AND DRY WX. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRES IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP OFF THE SERN CONUS CST, BUT ATTM, ALL GUID (EXCEPT THE
NAM) KEEPS IT WELL OFF THE COAST.
BY TUE NIGHT, AN AREA OF LOW PRES WILL MOVE EWD FROM THE UPR MS
VLY AND BRING A WMFNT THRU THE REGION. THIS FRONT COULD TRIGGER
SOME LIGHT PRECIP BY ERLY WED. DEPENDING ON ONSET TIME, THERE
COULD BE SOME SNOW OR A MIX FROM THE I-95 CORRIDOR N AND W, BEFORE
A CHANGEOVER TO ALL RAIN AFTER DAYBREAK. THIS LOOKS TO BE A
PREDOMINANTLY RAIN EVENT ON WED AS TEMPS RISE. THE CDFNT ASSOCD
WITH THIS LOW WILL CROSS THE AREA WED NIGHT. PRECIP CHCS WILL
INCREASE THRU THE DAY AHEAD OF FROPA.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE SERN STATES AND KEEP THINGS
DRY FOR FRI BEFORE ANOTHER WK LOW APPROACHES FROM THE W FRI NIGHT
INTO SAT. THIS LOW WILL BRING ANOTHER SHOT OF PRECIP AND WHILE IT
LOOKS TO BE PREDOMINANTLY RAIN, TEMPS WILL BE COLD ENOUGH N AND W
FOR SNOW OR A MIX FRI NIGHT INTO ERLY SAT.
A LARGE HIGH IS THEN EXPECTED TO BUILD DOWN FROM CANADA FOR SUN.
TEMPS WILL START OFF BELOW NRML THEN RISE TO NR OR A BIT ABV
SEASONAL VALUES FOR MOST OF THE EXTENDD PD.
THE VERNAL EQUINOX IS THURSDAY AT 1257 PM. HOPEFULLY MOTHER NATURE
CAN TAKE THE HINT!
&&
.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT AND MONDAY WHILE
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS TO THE NORTH. CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO
LOWER AND ADVANCE ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THE
SNOWS WILL ARRIVE OVER THE DELMARVA AROUND SUNSET AND THEN SPREAD
ACROSS THE REST OF THE REGION TONIGHT. ONLY LIGHT SNOWS ARE EXPECTED
AT KABE AND KRDG...WHILE HIGHER TOTALS AND IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
FOR THE DEL VALLEY AND SRN NJ TAF SITES. WINDS WILL BE MOSTLY N/NE
AT 10 TO 15 KTS WITH G20 AT TIMES.
MONDAY...IFR CONDITIONS EARLY (MVFR N/W) WILL ALL IMPROVE BACK TO
VFR FROM NW/SE DURING THE DAY. WINDS WILL REMAIN NE/N AT 10 TO 15
KTS.
OUTLOOK...
MON NIGHT THROUGH TUE....VFR. HIGH CONFIDENCE.
TUE NIGHT THRU WED NIGHT...MAINLY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN
SHOWERS LOWERING CONDITIONS TO MVFR AT TIMES, AS FIRST A WARM
FRONT PASSES THROUGH TUE NIGHT THEN A COLD FRONT WED NIGHT. MDT
CONFIDENCE.
THU-FRI... MAINLY VFR. MDT TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. SOME LWR CIGS PSBL
ESPECIALLY N AND W LATE FRI. MDT CONFIDENCE.
&&
.MARINE...
THE PLACEMENT AND TYPES OF MARINE FLAGS WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED...BUT
WE WILL MOVE UP THE TIMING FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE GALES/SCA TO
00Z. GALES EXPECTED TO BEGIN THIS EVENING OVER THE OCEAN AND LOWER
DEL BAY. SCA CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE UPPER DEL BAY. GALES
SHOULD LAST AT LEAST UNTIL NOON MONDAY...BEFORE A TRANSITION BACK TO
SCA CONDITIONS. THE NE FETCH WILL CREATE ROUGH SEAS OVER THE
SRN/CENTRAL COASTAL WATERS AND SRN DEL BAY...WITH THE NRN COASTAL
WATERS BEING SOMEWHAT SHELTERED.
OUTLOOK...
MON NIGHT-FRI...WIND SPEEDS ARE FORECAST TO BE MAINLY LESS THAN
25 KNOTS EXCEPT THRU ERLY TUE. HOWEVER, WAVE HEIGHTS ON OUR OCEAN
WATERS MAY REMAIN AROUND OR IN EXCESS OF 5 FEET THRU THE PD.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE DEVELOPING NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN
TIDAL DEPARTURES. THE ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ASSOCIATED WITH THE FULL
MOON ARE RATHER LOW AND TIDAL DEPARTURES OF GREATER THAN A FOOT
AND A HALF WOULD BE NEEDED FOR MINOR TIDAL FLOODING TO OCCUR.
BEING THAT THE LOW IS NOT FORECAST TO BE PARTICULARLY STRONG, THE
LATEST EXTRATROPICAL SURGE GUIDANCE IS NOT INDICATING THAT ANY
TIDAL FLOODING WILL TAKE PLACE.
