Winter Weather in New Jersey, November 13 to 14, 2014
An upper air disturbance combined with a low pressure system that rode along an offshore cold front to bring the first measurable snow of the season for most of New Jersey (except the southeast quarter) during the evening and overnight of the 13th. While many accumulations were less than an inch, one to four inches of snow fell over the higher terrain of northwest New Jersey.

What happened
The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
An upper air disturbance combined with a low pressure system that rode along an offshore cold front to bring the first measurable snow of the season for most of New Jersey (except the southeast quarter) during the evening and overnight of the 13th. While many accumulations were less than an inch, one to four inches of snow fell over the higher terrain of northwest New Jersey. Since the ground was warm, roadway accumulations were limited to lesser traveled roads and the snow started to melt once it stopped falling.
Precipitation started as rain during the late afternoon in northwest New Jersey and during the early evening elsewhere in New Jersey on the 13th. Precipitation changed to snow during the early evening of the 13th in northwest New Jersey and the middle of the evening on the 13th in central and southwest New Jersey. The snow ended during the early morning of the 14th and changed to snow just before ending in the southeast part of the state early on the 14th.
Representative snowfall included 4.0 inches in Highland Lakes (Sussex County), 3.3 inches in Jefferson Township (Morris County), 3.0 inches in Randolph Township (Morris County), 2.8 inches in Hardyston Township (Sussex County), 2.5 inches in Stockton (Sussex County), 2.0 inches in Bethlehem Township (Hunterdon County) and Liberty Township (Warren County), 1.8 inches in Kingwood Township (Hunterdon County), 1.6 inches in Marcella (Morris County) and Peapack (Somerset County) and 1.1 inches in Stewartsville (Warren County).
The snow was caused by a low pressure system that formed on a cold front over the Carolinas on the 12th. The same cold front moved through New Jersey that day and stalled offshore. This low pressure system initially moved slowly and only reached the North Carolina coastal waters mid day on the 13th. From there it progressed northeast faster and passed east of New Jersey early on the 14th. An upper level jet streak also passed across the region overnight on the 13th and both combined to bring the snow into New Jersey.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
618 PM EST THU NOV 13 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A QUICK MOVING DISTURBANCE WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FRIDAY AND REMAIN FOR A MAJORITY OF THE
WEEKEND. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE AND COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM, FORMING ALONG THE GULF COAST,
MOVES ALONG THE FRONT CLOSE TO OUR REGION ON MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES BACK IN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM FOR THE MIDDLE PART
OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED POPS/WX/SNOW GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR AN EARLIER ONSET OF
PRECIP, AN EARLIER TRANSITION TO A RA/SN MIX AND ALL SNOW IN
EASTERN PA AND NW NJ THIS EVE AND AN EARLIER EXIT OF PRECIP
OVERNIGHT. EVAPORATIVE AND DYNAMICAL COOLING HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT
FOR A QUICK CHANGEOVER AT RDG-MQS-UKT AS PRECIP BECAME HEAVIER.
THE 18Z NAM HANDLED THE THERMAL SETUP BETTER THAN THE GFS/HRRR/RAP
GUIDANCE WHICH WAS TOO WARM. MADE MINOR UPDATES TO THE SNOWFALL
FORECAST, WHICH BROUGHT MEASURABLE SNOW SLIGHTLY FARTHER EAST TO
JUST TO THE WEST OF I-95 OR RIGHT NEAR THE FALL LINE. MOST
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE LIMITED TO GRASSY AND ELEVATED SURFACES. THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN NORTHWEST NJ MAY HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF
RECEIVING LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER AN INCH.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
CLOUDS WERE LOWERING AT MID AFTERNOON AS MOISTURE CONTINUED TO
RIDE OVER THE DRY AIR IN PLACE IN OUR REGION. TEMPERATURES WERE
GENERALLY IN THE 40S WITH A LIGHT AND VARIABLE WIND. LIGHT RAIN
WAS AS CLOSE AS THE LOWER SUSQUEHANNA RIVER VALLEY AND NORTH
CENTRAL MARYLAND AT 330 PM.
LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD OVER OUR REGION DURING
THE BALANCE OF THE AFTERNOON. EVEN WITH THE COLD AIR ALOFT,
PRECIPITATION RATES AT THE START SHOULD BE LIGHT ENOUGH TO ALLOW ANY
SNOW TO MELT AS IT FALLS THROUGH THE BOUNDARY LAYER.
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING WILL BE ON THE INCREASE DURING THE EVENING
HOURS ACROSS OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES. PRECIPITATION RATES ARE
FORECAST TO INCREASE, AS WELL, WITH OPTIMAL SNOW GROWTH SETTING UP
OVER THAT AREA BY ABOUT 700 PM. THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO
SNOW BY THAT TIME IN THE ELEVATED TERRAIN. THE CHANGE WILL WORK ITS
WAY DOWN INTO THE VALLEYS AND SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHWESTERN CHESTER
COUNTY, UPPER MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND UPPER BUCKS COUNTY, AS WELL AS
INTO THE NEW JERSEY COUNTIES OF HUNTERDON AND SOMERSET BETWEEN 700
PM AND 1000 PM AS THE ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO COOL. SNOWFALL TOTALS
IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE UP TO AROUND AN INCH.
AMOUNTS IN THE VALLEYS SHOULD BE ABOUT A HALF INCH OR LESS.
THE BEST LIFT AND IDEAL SNOW GROWTH WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT TOWARD
THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR AS WE APPROACH MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER, DRYING
WILL BEGIN TO WORK ITS WAY IN FROM THE WEST AT THAT TIME AND THE
PRECIPITATION WILL COME TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST IN OUR REGION
BETWEEN ABOUT MIDNIGHT AND 300 AM. WHILE THE RAIN MAY MIX WITH AND
END AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW FROM THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR
SOUTHEASTWARD, LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION IS ANTICIPATED THERE.
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 20S IN
THE NORTH AND INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 30S ELSEWHERE. A DEVELOPING
NORTHWEST WIND IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO ABOUT 8 TO 12 MPH LATE
TONIGHT AND IT MAY BEGIN TO GUST NEAR 20 MPH IN SPOTS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
AN INTENSIFYING SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST TO BE LOCATED ABOUT 300
MILES OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST AROUND DAYBREAK ON FRIDAY. THE
PRECIPITATION WILL BE WELL OFF THE COAST AT THAT TIME. THE LOW IS
EXPECTED TO TRACK NORTHEASTWARD REACHING THE COAST OF NOVA SCOTIA ON
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
A BRISK NORTHWEST WIND IS ANTICIPATED FOR FRIDAY ALONG WITH A MOSTLY
SUNNY SKY. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE AND UPPER
30S IN THE POCONOS TO THE MIDDLE 40S ON THE COASTAL PLAIN.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FRI NIGHT THRU SUNDAY...A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED AS HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE BELOW
NORMAL WITH READINGS 6 TO 12 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. WINDS WILL BE
GUSTY SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE SETTLING LATER DURING THE AFTERNOON.
SUN NIGHT THRU MONDAY NIGHT...A PERIOD OF UNSETTLED CONDITIONS. THE
H5 TROUGH TO THE WEST CAUSES LOW PRESSURE FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
TO INTENSIFY AND MOVE NE ACROSS THE TENN VALLEY, THEN THE MIDDLE
ATLANTIC REGION. POPS ARE IN THE HIGH CHC/LOW LIKELY RANGE SUN NIGHT
AND MONDAY, THEN TAPER OFF TO MOSTLY CHC POPS MON NIGHT. P-TYPE WILL
BE RAIN...BUT A BIT OF SNOW MAY CREEP IN N/W AT THE END OF THE PCPN.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL SUN/MON.
TUE THRU THU...MOSTLY DRY AND COLD WEATHER EXPECTED. ANOTHER AREA OF
HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE ACROSS THE AREA. HIGHS WILL
