A combination of snow, ice and wind brought down trees and power lines, which cut the power to roughly 80,000 customers in Monmouth, northern Ocean, Middlesex and Burlington counties by the early afternoon of the 14th. At 1:30 PM on the 14th, state troopers had responded to more than 1,250 accidents on New Jersey roads since 5 PM on the 13th. The state police responded to more than 900 accidents between 5 AM and 1 PM on the 14th. There were three fatalities, including two in which motorists left their vehicles after minor accidents and then were struck by another vehicle. On the 14th, the speed limit on the New Jersey Turnpike was lowered to 35 mph due to the slippery conditions along with reduced visibilities. New Jersey Transit reported no serious problems or major delays on its commuter-rail lines and only minor delays on its bus routes. Public Service Electric and Gas reported nearly 4,300 outages at 11:30 AM on the 14th. At least 7,000 Atlantic City Electric customers were without power in South Jersey by the early afternoon of the 14th, most in Salem and Gloucester counties.

An area of low pressure tracked across southeastern Canada during the 12th, which brought an arctic front across the Mid Atlantic region late on the 12th. As this occurred, a strong area of high pressure located across central Canada built down into the Northeast, allowing very cold air to spill southward ultimately leading to what is known as cold air damming. This occurs east of the mountains down through the Mid Atlantic states. Meanwhile, a Pacific storm slammed onto the California coast during the 11th and as it moved eastward, a new area of low pressure developed across southeastern Colorado and the Texas Panhandle. This storm became impressive as it moved into the Ohio Valley during the 13th. However as additional energy moved into the eastern part of the country, a new area of low pressure developed near the North Carolina coast late on the 13th. This allowed mainly light snow to overspread the region from south to north during the early morning hours of the 13th. As the secondary area of low pressure became more organized to our south, moisture began to fill in across North Carolina and Virginia and this moved northward. The arctic front that slipped through the state on the 12th was positioned across the southern Delmarva and this began a northward jog during the night of the 13th and the morning of the 14th. The intensifying area of low pressure tracked very near southern Delaware and then slid close to the New Jersey Shore during the morning of the 14th. This system continued to intensify as it moved into New England during the afternoon and evening of the 14th. The track of the storm kept winds at the surface from the northeast, which pretty much locked in the cold air at the surface for the inland areas while some warmer air worked in above the surface. The upper-level system then passed overhead during the evening of the 14th, with the entire system pretty much a memory by late in the evening of the 14th.
Snow began across New Jersey around 7 AM EST on the 13th from Camden to Atlantic Counties on southward; between 8 AM and 10 AM EST across Burlington and Ocean Counties; between 12 PM and 3 PM EST in Warren, Hunterdon, Mercer and Monmouth Counties, and around 5 PM EST in Sussex, Morris, Somerset and Middlesex Counties. There was a general lull in the precipitation during the evening hours of the 13th especially across the central and southern areas, however the precipitation became widespread overnight and during the early morning hours of the 14th. As some warmer air began to move in above the surface, the snow mixed with and changed to sleet and freezing rain inland between 6 PM and 7:15 PM EST on the 13th from Burlington and Ocean Counties on southward. Elsewhere, the changeover occurred generally between 7:45 PM and 11 PM EST on the 13th for Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth Counties, and for the counties farther to the north the changeover was delayed until the early morning hours of the 14th.  Milder air made its way to the Shore and about 20 miles inland to change the mixed precipitation over to plain rain around 2 AM EST on the 14th. There was a fairly tight gradient in temperatures and precipitation types as icing continued for an extended period of time for the inland communities. Areas closest to the Delaware River saw mostly sleet once the changeover from snow occurred, while areas farther eastward saw more freezing rain. This produced significant icing in many areas of interior New Jersey, causing the downing of some trees and power lines. Ice accumulated to a half of an inch thick in Tinton Falls (Monmouth County), which downed numerous trees. The precipitation ended across the state around 10 PM EST on the 14th.

Eatontown police issued a ���code red��� message through an automated telephone system on the 14th to residents in the Woodmere section, bordered by Wyckoff Road, Route 35 and the Industrial Park, asking them to stay home because so many trees, branches and wires were littering the roads. Between 7 AM and 3 PM, Eatontown police had 115 weather-related calls, including motor vehicle accidents; fallen power, phone and cable lines; trees blocking roads; and alarms that were set off by the storm. On the 14th, New Jersey Transit workers had to lower and raise the gates manually at the Broad Street-Route 35 railroad crossing in Red Bank, knocking snow and ice from them.
In Ocean County, Snow, ice and rain damaged the roof at Brick Memorial High School on the 14th. The school let out early on the 14th after it began to leak in several places, damaging ceiling tiles and forcing administrators to relocate students from the wet areas. None of the school���s estimated 1,900 students or 100 staff members were hurt. In Jackson, a shelter, staffed by a Red Cross certified volunteer, was opened on the 14th at the Jackson Memorial High School.

In Burlington County, on the 15th, following the winter storm, two boys in Mount Laurel, both around 12 years old, fell through the ice while playing on a local pond. One boy managed to quickly free himself, but the other lost consciousness and had to be rescued by a local firefighter.

The girl was knocked unconscious and rescue workers had to cut her free from the wreckage. She was flown to Cooper University Hospital in Camden with head, neck and internal injuries. Snow and ice covered roads were a factor in the crash. Up to a quarter of an inch of freezing rain accumulated across parts of the county.

Across northwest New Jersey in Morris County, in Parsippany, six vehicles got stuck heading up the hill on westbound Route 10 near Manor Lane on the 14th. Strong winds immediately following the storm caused some snow to drift onto some roads and also produced a refreeze; keeping road crews busy through the 14th and even through the evening of the 15th. In Sussex County, icy conditions across the county forced schools and businesses to close on the 14th into the 15th. In Warren County, the County Courthouse was closed on the 14th.
