In the wake of the departing nor���easter, the combination of strong winds, snow on tree limbs and heavy rain loosening the ground caused many tree limbs, trees and wires to be knocked down on the 16th. The strong winds caused about 120,000 homes and businesses in the state to lose power. Power was not completely restored until the 18th. Many school districts cancelled classes because of the power outages and/or blocked roadways.
In Cumberland County, high winds blew the siding off of and caused wind damage to homes in Fortescue (Downe Township). The high winds also ripped a four foot by fifteen foot section of facing from the side of the Millville City Hall building. A home was damaged by a downed tree in Vineland. Atlantic Electric reported about 4,300 homes and businesses lost power in Cumberland County. In Cape May County, minor wind damage occurred to homes and utility wires in Wildwood and Wildwood Crest. The high winds forced the cancellation of the Cape May-Lewes Ferry Service across Delaware Bay on the 16th and 17th. The Cape May County Zoo was also closed.  In Burlington County, because of downed trees, buses replaced the light commuter rail line between Bordentown and Roebling. In Monmouth County, the strong winds damaged a gazebo in Bradley Beach and threw sand onto Ocean Avenue in Sea Girt.  In Ocean County, the high winds blew sand onto the boardwalk in Point Pleasant.
In Hunterdon County, in Lebanon Township, County Route 513 was closed because of downed poles on the 16th. About 4,000 Jersey Central Power and Light Customers lost power throughout northwestern New Jersey.  In morris County, the downed trees blocked two lanes of the southbound side of Interstate 287 in Morristown. In Warren County, the strong winds knocked down tree limbs which knocked down power lines in Hardwick Township. A fallen tree damaged a vehicle in Phillipsburg.
Peak wind gusts included 69 mph in Seaside Heights (Ocean County), 67 mph in Fortescue (Cumberland County), 60 mph at the Cape May Harbor (Cape May County), 59 mph at the Cape May Ferry Terminal (Cape May County), 55 mph in Newport (Cumberland County), 54 mph in Harvey Cedars (Ocean County), 53 mph at the Atlantic City Marina (Atlantic County), 51 mph in Rio Grande (Cape May County) and Sea Girt, 49 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport and 48 mph in Millville (Cumberland County).
The nor'easter low pressure system initially formed in the southern Rockies on the 12th and moved to Arkansas on the morning of the 14th. At 8 p.m. EDT on the 14th, there were two low pressure systems, one in Kentucky and the other in western Alabama. The southern low pressure system became the predominate one overnight and at 8 a.m. EDT on the 15th, it (996 millibar low) was located in western North Carolina. As the 15th continued, it moved northeast and intensified rapidly. At 2 p.m. EDT the nor'easter (989 millibars) was near Raleigh, North Carolina. At 8 p.m. EDT, the nor'easter was a 979 millibar low pressure system near Virginia Beach, Virginia. Another low pressure system formed on its warm front during the afternoon over Chesapeake Bay and at 8 p.m. EDT it (982 millibars) was over extreme southwest New Jersey. The lows consolidated into one again overnight and a very intense 973 millibar low pressure system was located over Monmouth County, New Jersey at 2 a.m. EDT on the 16th. At 8 a.m. EDT on the 16th the nor'easter was down to 968 millibars and located over New York City. That was a drop in central pressure of 28 millibars in 24 hours which qualified it as a meteorological bomb (a drop in central pressure of at least 24 millibars in 24 hours) low pressure system. The nor'easter bottomed at a pressure of about 966 millibars (28.53 inches) at 11 a.m. EDT just south of Long Island, New York. To put into prospective how low the pressure was with this nor'easter, that central pressure is near the border of the pressure defined category 2 and category 3 hurricane once used on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. As the 16th continued, the nor'easter weakened and meandered across southwest New England and the New York and New Jersey coastal waters. By 2 a.m. EDT on the 17th, the nor'easter's central pressure rose to 988 millibars and a second storm formed on the triple point of its fronts south of Nova Scotia. This became the main low pressure system. The low pressure system then slowly moved southeast over the next couple of days. The heaviest precipitation fell as the low pressure system was rapidly intensifying on the 15th into the early part of the 16th. The strongest winds ceased after the low pressure system started to fill on the afternoon of the 16th.
