About a day or two too late for a White Christmas, light snow fell across New Jersey from the evening of the 26th into the pre-dawn hours of the 27th. For many, this was the first accumulating snow of the season. Accumulations averaged between one to two inches across much of the area, with slightly lower accumulations far south and slightly higher accumulations in Monmouth County. Temperatures were below freezing. The snow, even though it was light, led to many accidents.  Accumulations included 3.5 inches in Oakhurst (Monmouth County), 2.1 inches in Mount Laurel (Burlington County), 2 inches in Milford, Sussex and Newton (Sussex County), 1.7 inches in Pottersville (Somerset County), 1.5 inches in New Brunswick (Middlesex County) and 1 inch in Flemington (Hunterdon County) and 0.5 inches at the Atlantic City International Airport. While a low pressure system moved northeast off the North Carolina coast during the evening of the 26th and did drop some light snow across the extreme eastern part of the state, the bulk of the snow was caused by an upper air disturbance that moved directly across New Jersey during the night of the 26th.
