A strong nor'easter caused high winds along the coast, heavy snow in east central New Jersey, ten foot waves along the ocean front and minor tidal flooding along the ocean front with the overnight high tide on the 7th. It caused set backs with restoration efforts near and along coastal areas caused by post tropical storm Sandy, particularly in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. It also forced some coastal area evacuations again. Elsewhere across the state, winds were lighter, but accumulating snows occurred in most areas.  Snowfall averaged 1 to 5 inches in most of the state, but reached 6 to 12 inches in Middlesex, Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The least snow fell in Hunterdon and coastal Cape May Counties.  The former was too far west while the latter had mostly rain. Unfortunately the heaviest snow fell in the counties that were affected the hardest by Sandy and upwards of an additional 150,000 mainly Jersey Central Power and Light customers lost power. The combination of heavy snow and wind brought down additional trees, poles and wires.
Bands of precipitation pushed westward into the state from the offshore nor'easter on the 7th. In many places during the daytime hours, the precipitation started as rain or changed over to rain when the precipitation intensity was lighter, but fell as snow at other times. The precipitation was concentrated in the southern half of the state. From the late afternoon into the overnight hours, the heavier precipitation bands shifted north into the central and northern part of the state. This combined with falling temperatures to around the freezing mark to have snow accumulate more efficiently. Several bands of heavier snow passed through Monmouth and Ocean Counties overnight and gave them the heaviest snow in the state. All of the snow exited the state by 3 a.m. EST on the 8th. Strong to high north to northwest winds buffeted the coastal areas of the state mainly during the second half of the day on the 7th. The winds peaked during the late afternoon.  In Sussex County, the strongest winds occurred late in the evening on the 7th.
Toms River, Point Pleasant, Berkeley and Brick Townships in Ocean County and Middletown Township in Monmouth County issued mandatory evacuations. In Toms River, it was along the ocean front, but also suggested voluntary evacuations for communities along the Toms River and Barnegat Bay. In Brick Township, 10,000 residents were ordered to evacuate. In Middletown Township, the evacuation order covered the area between Keansburg and Atlantic Highlands and from New Jersey State Route 36 to Raritan Bay. The combination of the heavy snow and wind caused renewed power outages to east central New Jersey and approximately 100 major road closures occurred because of downed poles, trees and wires.  In Ocean County, sections of Interstate 195 as well as New Jersey State Routes 35, 37, 70 and 72 were closed. In Monmouth County, sections of Interstate 195 were closed as were New Jersey State Routes 18. 33, 34, 36 and 79. In Middlesex County, parts of U.S. Route 1 and New Jersey State Route 18 were closed and in Mercer County, U.S. Route 206 was closed. Snow related traffic accidents were reported in Vernon and Hopatcong in Sussex County.
Representative snowfall included 13.0 inches in Freehold (Monmouth County), 12.0 inches in Allaire (Monmouth County), Jackson (Ocean County), Manchester Township (Ocean County), 11.0 inches in Howell Township (Monmouth County), 8.5 inches in Beachwood (Ocean County), 7.8 inches in Cheesequake (Middlesex County),  7.2 inches in Hightstown (Mercer County), 6.2 inches in Bayville (Ocean County), 6.0 inches in Oakhurst (Monmouth County), Washington  Township (Morris County) and Bernards Township (Somerset County), 5.5 inches in Carteret and Woodbridge (Middlesex County), 5.3 inches in Hillsborough (Somerset County), 5.2 inches in Point Pleasant (Ocean County), 5.0 inches in Hopewell (Mercer County), 4.5 inches in Butler (Morris County), Crosswicks (Burlington County) and Montgomery (Somerset County), 4.0 inches in Estell Manor (Atlantic County), 3.5 inches in Voorhees (Camden County), Tabernacle (Burlington County) and Ewing (Mercer County), 3.0 inches in Boonton and Randolph (Morris County), Vernon and Highland Lakes (Sussex County), Hackettstown (Warren County), Tabernacle (Burlington County), Somerville (Somerset County), Robbinsville (Mercer County), Buena Vista (Atlantic County) and Malaga (Gloucester County), 2.6 inches in Mount Laurel (Burlington County), 2.5 inches at the Atlantic City International Airport and Berlin (Camden County), 2.4 inches in Woodbine (Cape May County), 2.3 inches in Mount Laurel (Burlington County),  2.1 inches in Wantage (Sussex County), 2.0 Parsipanny (Morris County) and 1.7 inches in Pittsgrove Township (Salem County).
Minor tidal flooding and the highest tides occurred with the early morning high tide cycle on the 8th. Tidal flooding up the Toms River flooded New Jersey State Route 166 in the Beachwood section of Berkeley Township (Ocean County). The Black Horse Pike (U.S. Routes 40 and 322) in Pleasantville (Atlantic County) was closed in both directions because of tidal flooding near South Franklin Boulevard.  Highest tides included 7.12 feet above mean lower low water in Cape May (Cape May County), 6.59 feet above mean lower low water in Atlantic City (Atlantic County), 7.26 feet above mean lower low water in Keansburg (Monmouth County) and 7.21 feet above mean lower low water in South Amboy (Middlesex County).
Peak wind gusts included 63 mph in Point Pleasant (Ocean County), 58 mph in Cape May (Cape May County), 50 mph at High Point (Sussex County), 48 mph at Barnegat Inlet (Ocean County) and 46 mph in Wantage (Sussex County).
The nor'easter was still a relatively weak low pressure system over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico on the morning of November 6th. At 7 p.m. EST on the 6th, it was located east of North Carolina and was starting to intensify. It moved to the northnortheast and at 7 a.m. EST on the 7th, the surface pressure lowered to 994 millibars and it was about 150 miles east of the Delmarva Peninsula. From there it moved very slowly to the northnortheast and intensified. At 7 p.m. EST on the 7th, its surface pressure was down to 984 millibars. Overnight, the surface pressure remained about the same and at 7 a.m. EST on the 8th, the 986 millibar nor'easter was just south of Cape Cod. The rather offshore track kept most of the highest impacts from the nor'easter right along the immediate coast.
