A weak low pressure system that developed along a warm front and moved east of the state on the 1st helped produce a light wintry mix in Philadelphia and Delaware Counties during the first half of the day on the 1st. Precipitation started as light snow, but changed over to sleet and freezing rain by the start of the morning commute. The freezing rain then changed to freezing drizzle.

Many roads were either pre-treated or had salt on them from past winter storms, so the number of accidents was relatively low.

A rapidly intensifying low pressure system caused strong northwest winds to occur across the higher terrain of the southern Poconos during the early morning on the 8th. Peak wind gusts were around 45 mph and downed tree limbs in the Poconos.  Peak wind gusts included 47 mph in Mount Pocono (Monroe County). Other peak wind gusts in Eastern Pennsylvania included 43 mph at the Philadelphia International Airport and 41 mph in Reading (Berks County). The strong winds were caused by the increasing circulation around the same low pressure system that brought heavy rain and then snow to the Poconos. The low intensified from 1007 millibars over western North Carolina at 7 a.m. EST on the 7th, to 996 millibars over Delaware at 7 p.m. EST on the 7th, to 989 millibars over Long Island at 1 a.m. EST on the 8th to 978 millibars over Eastport, Maine at 7 a.m. EST on the 8th. The 29 millibar drop in 24 hours qualified it for the meteorological definition of a bombing low pressure system and was the main reason for the strong winds. While the low continued to intensify (it was down to 963 millibars at the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River at 1 p.m. EST on the 8th), it moved far enough away from the Poconos so that strong winds subsided by the daytime on the 8th.
