An Alberta Clipper low pressure system dropped two to four inches of snow across southern New Jersey and an inch or less of snow across northern New Jersey on the 5th. Snow began during the late morning and ended during the evening on the 5th. While the snow was never heavy, most of the accumulating snow across southern New Jersey occurred during two spurts, one in the early afternoon and the second during the early evening. The highest accumulating snows occurred in a band across Salem, Cumberland, Gloucester and Atlantic Counties.
Specific accumulations included 4.4 inches at the Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic County), 4.0 inches in Rio Grande (Cape May County) and North Vineland (Cumberland County), 3.8 inches in Pittsgrove (Salem County), 3.7 inches in Cape May City (Cape May County), 3.6 inches in Estell Manor (Atlantic County), 3.5 inches in Newport (Cumberland County) and Glassboro (Gloucester County), 3.2 inches in Hammonton (Atlantic County), 3.1 inches in Quinton (Salem County) and Absecon (Atlantic County), 3.0 inches in Atsion (Burlington County), 2.5 inches in Avalon (Cape May County) and Pennsville (Salem County), 2.0 inches in Manahawkin (Ocean County), 1.6 inches in Somerdale (Camden County) and 1.5 inches in Maple Shade (Burlington County).
As the name implies, the low pressure that caused the snow moved quickly from southern Alberta at 7 a.m. EST on the 4th to the central Ohio Valley at 7 a.m. EST on the 5th. By sunrise on the 6th, it was already well east of the Virginia coast.
