An ice storm affected higher elevations (mainly above 1,000 feet) of Sussex County during the night of the 16th. Between one and two inches of ice accrued to exposed surfaces. Numerous trees were knocked down and they toppled onto electrical transmission lines. Hardest hit were Vernon and Wantage Townships. In Vernon Township, the hardest hit areas were Barry Lakes, Hidden Valley, Highland Lakes, Lake Panorama and Lake Wanda. Jersey Central Power and Light and Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative reported about 2,500 of their customers lost power. A shelter was opened at the Highland Lakes Country Club in Vernon. Power restoration was complicated by trees and wires which continued to fall through Monday the 18th. Schools were closed in Vernon on the 18th because of tree debris on the roads. A tree fell on a shed in Vernon and a meter was ripped from another home. Otherwise, very little property damage was reported. Because the ground was still relatively warm, little ice accrued to road surfaces. Precipitation started as rain before dawn on the 16th and fell as rain most of the day. Freezing rain began mixing with the rain around 6 p.m. EST and precipitation changed to freezing rain over the higher terrain between 7 and 10 p.m. EST. In the valleys, precipitation fell as plain rain throughout this event. As another northeaster was heading northeast along the Atlantic Seaboard, a high pressure system built into nearby Canada and New England. The circulation around these two systems brought colder air near the surface into the Poconos and helped change the rain to freezing rain and sleet.

A northeaster produced steady rain, heavy at times, across Somerset County. This continued a trend of wetter than normal conditions that started in the first half of October and ended the drought. The rain began around sunrise on the 16th and continued steadily through the morning of the 17th. The heaviest rain fell between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. EST on the 17th when 0.40 fell at the Somerville Airport. Doppler Radar Storm Total Estimates averaged between 1.5 and 2.0 inches. This was enough rain given the already near saturated soil conditions to produce flooding along the North Branch of the Raritan River and the Millstone River. The North Branch of the Raritan River at South Branch was above its 6.9 foot flood stage from 730 a.m. EST through 1209 p.m. EST on the 17th. It crested at 7.30 feet at 10 a.m. EST on the 17th. The Millstone River at Griggstown was above its 9 foot flood stage from 432 a.m. EST on the 17th through 715 a.m. EST on the 19th. It crested at 11.31 feet at 5 a.m. EST on the 18th. Storm totals included 1.90 inches in Somerville. The northeaster that affected the region moved from the eastern Gulf of Mexico the morning of the 16th, to near Cape May the morning of the 17th (central pressure about 1000 millibars) to Nova Scotia by the morning of the 18th. While the central pressure of this northeaster was not as low as some of the others so far this autumn, a high pressure system over New England and nearby Canada increased the pressure gradient which subsequently increased the amount of moisture that was ingested and then precipitated by this system.

A northeaster produced steady rain, heavy at times, across northern Delaware. This continued a trend of wetter than normal conditions that started in the first half of October and ended the drought. The rain began before dawn on the 16th and continued steadily through the morning of the 17th. The heaviest rain fell between 10 p.m. EST on the 16th and 2 a.m. EST on the 17th. At the New Castle County Airport, 0.57 fell during that four hour period. This was enough rain given the already near saturated soil conditions to produce flooding along the Christina River Basin. The Christina River at Coochs Bridge was above its 9 foot flood stage from 1246 a.m. EST through 741 a.m. EST. on the 17th. It crested at 11.25 feet at 245 a.m. EST on the 17th. Storm totals included 2.10 inches in Newark and 2.07 inches at the New Castle County Airport. The northeaster that affected the region moved from the eastern Gulf of Mexico the morning of the 16th, to near Cape May the morning of the 17th (central pressure about 1000 millibars) to Nova Scotia by the morning of the 18th. While the central pressure of this northeaster was not as low as some of the others so far this autumn, a high pressure system over New England and nearby Canada increased the pressure gradient which subsequently increased the amount of moisture that was ingested and then precipitated by this system.
