Another low pressure system brought snow into the southern half of New Jersey. A stripe of heavy snow fell across Atlantic and Cumberland Counties. Snow began during the evening of the 27th and ended during the morning of the 28th. The heaviest snow fell overnight on the 27th. Accumulations ranged from 1.5 to 5.0 inches with the highest amounts in Atlantic County. Specific accumulations included 4.9 inches in Estell Manor (Atlantic County), 4.0 inches in Woodbine (Cape May County), 3.8 inches in Glassboro (Gloucester County), 3.7 inches in Margate (Atlantic County), 3.5 inches in Seaville (Cape May County), 3.0 inches in Tabernacle (Burlington County), 2.8 inches in Hammonton (Atlantic County), 2.5 inches in Voorhees (Camden County) and Beach Haven (Ocean County), 2.2 inches in Mount Holly (Burlington County) and 1.8 inches in Somerdale (Camden County) and Green Creek (Cape May County). The low pressure system developed in the western Gulf of Mexico during the day on the 26th and moved northeast into Alabama the morning of the 27th and then well east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina by the morning of the 28th. Its track was too far southeast to bring heavy snow into most of New Jersey. In fact accumulations in the northern half of the state were under 1.5 inches.  The snow on the 27th helped push the monthly snowfall total to 33.2 inches in Atlantic City, which was the second snowiest February on record. Only February 1967 (35.2 inches) was snowier. Along with the excessive snow, came unseasonably cold weather in Atlantic City during the meteorological winter. The mean temperature of 31.0 degrees during the meteorological winter months of December, January and February tied for the tenth coldest winter on record.
